Mike Gentile Poet Rhyme

Though Once I Fell

Each Palm that sways on gentle breeze
Reflects the sun as if to tease 
Inviting me to come along 
To see the world, to sing my song

The water falls in joyful dance 
To tickle thoughts filled of romance 
And beckon me to leave the shell
So off I go, though once I fell

Though once I fell, to taste the sand
To wonder why this reprimand 
I’m now on course to taste the sky
A turquoise, cotton candy pie

In boundless leaps to top the trees
I’ll hide no more world, if you please 
So brace yourself, if you can tell
I’m flying now, though once I fell
