To Fall Or Fly

The act of falling

Isn’t hard.

Anyone can do it:

step off an edge,

be pushed, or jump.

The key is to

find the one

tumbling through

space and time,

at the exact same

rate as you;

grab on tightly,

and in grounding,

each spread an arm

and fly.

I absolutely love this potent, humbling and heartfelt encumberment of a soul mate, as we fall through life, it is wonderful to have someone to do that with. Hugs and blessings. Charlotte x
