Falling
Falling
An apple falls to the ground.
Have you ever seen an apple
falling through the leaves
to the ground?
Not a sound is heard
but a bird flies away.
Have you ever heard someone say
'easy as falling out of a tree'
or saw lovers walking
under a tree in a garden
where apples roll then rest
in the grass?
Have you ever supposed how they got there?
Have you ever guessed?
What I mean is,
have you ever seen an apple falling?
Falling is easy as apples.
If you look you'll know what I mean.
An apple falling from a tree
is a thing to be seen, to be looked for.
Every tree should have its witness,
every eye an apple falling to the ground.
Not a sound is heard
but a bird flies away.
