Fall
Fall is a word; peculiar and complex,
it means more that one thing;
sometimes, a result of our poor reflex;
or a season, long after Spring.
A fall can occur; when tugged by gravity;
especially happening when we’re older;
a fall in our stature brings hints of depravity;
forgetting our place; becoming bolder.
Our wealth can fall like a house of cards;
no telling what circumstance may bring;
some even fall in their own back yards;
while others can fall for most anything;
Many are those who fall for all lies;
remaining blind to the truth;
unaware that liars; walk in disguise;
accepting their words as proof.
The greatest of lies, that we may hear;
are imaginary whispers from above;
such dangerous thoughts, bring us fear;
as we think we have fallen in love.
Love is always a two-sided street;
no one can walk it alone;
where two lovers, in harmony, meet;
lacking love; one goes home.
In my Autumn of life; I fell in love;
to one who doesn’t love me, at all;
wistfully looking to heaven above;
perhaps, it’s my season to Fall.
