I Reach
I reach as I am falling,
there is no one there,
no safety net below,
no easy landing anywhere,
time feels endless as I fall,
years pass before me
mistakes are replayed
triumphs shortened
regrets overflow.
Nothing stops gravity,
nothing stops me,
the end but a few feet away,
it gets here quickly,
I am nothing as flesh meets ground,
a nothing to which I return,
all motion ceases - I am gone.
A bright light ends the journey...
daylight eliminates the terror.
