If in my fall
I become too heavy
will you leave me to lie?
Give up so easily
walk away knowing
not bother to try?

Or if in your fall?
I struggle to carry
until you are done
once helped
you walk away knowing
I never give up?

But we in our fall
come down
so slowly
soft feather on skin
slide down knowing
when landing
we're reaching
new beauty within
