I am switching up our monthly blog post by going back to my roots as a free flow poet. I see the world through poetry and someone suggested I share my views with you.
May you find that which can allow you to soar this fall!

Falling
----------------------
 
Floating down the red leaf falls.
It knows not where it will land.
I see it fall on the water calm.
The falling leaf it floats.
 
I ask the leaf,
    “Now why do you
       float so gently well?
When I get into water deep,
   I sink, I fall, I drown.”
 
The leaf shows me,
  its arms outstretched,
thin, it bears its weight.
 
It does not fight.
It does not swim.
It simply floats away.
 
If only I could be like the leaf,
   and let the wind take me,
I could fall and fly and float
   arms outstretched I’d see -
         land and sky and waters deep.
Alone I’d reach the sea.
 
And there I’d fall,
   a gently swift, upon the water deep.
New horizons in my view,
I’d fall into the feeling
   of the waves as they fell too.
 
If only I could trust, let go
   of the fears that glue me here,
I’d fly! I’d soar. I’d fall so sweet.
    I’d be free, I’d float at last!
But here I am, alone I cling,
    arms crossed desperately
as the winds they tear me apart.
 
I take a breath,
my time has come.
I breathe once more and let go.
I fall.
I fall.
I fall.
I fall.
 
The wind carries me gently home. 
 
- JP (Jeannine Proulx)
