The Fall
then here,
idle now to some
small thought
i wander though
this timeless court
and drift beyond
what i have known
and see the weight
of pastures sown
discover i must
unknowing why
who i am
beneath the sky
i close my eyes
and feel the pull
of timeless days
I know the rule.
down down
to the depth
discover i
what is left
of what began
a simple boy
innocent full
of joy
down down
does this end
as i wash
in its decent
down down
and still it goes
back to where
a spring was sown
a fear grips
the torn grey heart
as it descends
to the start
will it stop
as still i fall
clawing at this
living wall
down down
out of sight
the noisome wind
the fading light
faster still
as i fall
dropped down
inside
a pit-stone wall
and slowly now
i reach the depths
of mind and soul
of what is left
the air is damp
i breath in deep
uneven bottom
beneath my feet.
and here i am
