Sunlight and Shadows


Falling

It’s funny how falling off of a cliff

Does not always happen in one moment swift

Sometimes you don’t know that you started down

Til the last bit of sliding when you hit the ground

And everything hurts, and everyone’s gone

You’ve plunged into darkness, can’t see to go on

It’s funny how falling off of a cliff

Is sometimes only a feeling, as if

The world is crumbling from under your feet

When really it’s only shifting your seat

And maybe the landscape contracted or grew

But you’re still on top, if you can push through
