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

A rather rapturous and riveting sing-song piece to take the mind to sweeps of mood and then conclude. Kudos.
