Catch Me

I lose my balance and begin to fall, a backwards glance, perhaps that's all A look ahead, too far, so fast from back to front, from future to past I spin, I plummet from off the summit, so high we are, we've climbed so far And yet, I'm here still standing fast, I've not yet fallen so far at last You catch me and you break my fall, you hold me up and I stand tall

Hi David, I like your verses. And you have meaningful rhyming too. I like the double meaning in this poem, I love it when a write calls for some thinking. It's great!
