Together we feel safe

A blanket of white

Tucked softly over a grass field

All safe in thought

Until someone breaks off in angst.

That’s life

One moment you’re safe and warm

And the next you’re fleeing

Running next to those who you thought

Were just as secure as you.

Free fall is fun

You get to learn most about

yourself when you’re falling.

Flying is like falling sideways

You still have the feeling of wind

between your feathers

but you just don’t know you’re

Still headed towards your death.
