a mother watches
her baby fall to sleep
into peaceful dreams
falling in love
wasn’t on her agenda
yet it still arrived
he watches his phone
fall down the bridge
in spectacular fashion
their fall from grace
brought humility
to their once cold hearts

ReplyDeleteEnjoyed seeing these 4 different applications of the word. In a way, love can come unexpectedly.....as can a pregnancy. And perhaps that watch falling...disappearing, gave a new lease on living in the moment as well. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Lillian.
