The Rise,The Fall, Arise

THE RISE, THE FALL, ARISE One moment I am among the stars Looking down to them as they work and walk the earth Nothing compare to my lengthy altitude I am high, I am tight, and I am composed How I came up here, a dark secret That I wish to remain here, a white truth How I intend to hold on, a red challenge, as Everyone down there blink in my direction The rise was long and tiresome So I realized on first arrival The arrival was sweet and ceremonious Satisfaction after exhausting action Up here, I have stayed long, so long Wondering how long I could remain Like an island, I venture in isolation How I wish time could freeze as now As it so happen, I might slip, slip and fall Fall I might, and land among the rocks No doubt, the fall will be bitter and scandalous Shame and pity will litter upon me I will be low I will be loose I will be shapeless Nothing will then compare to my lassitude They would curiously blink down in my direction, as I would then look up to them for a lift Their utterances, I know by heart already Their actions I have already noticed Their gossip will not be soft enough In their conference, my name will top the agenda A pity they know not A quitter I am not Don’t they reminisce? I know the way, back up THERE! By: Ihanovandu (Copyright reserved)
