Falling Leaves

...And with the falling leaves

My heart goes with them

Trembling down into the abyss

Reaching out to the heavens

Grasping at the dark void

My essence emanates.

A gut wrenching pulse pushes me further

No longer afraid, I embrace the feeling

Am I falling?

Or being embraced?

I strain to focus on the suspense

Realization strikes me

For I, who thinks, Is no longer true

Something inside is being stretched

What was truly mine now has no sense.
