What Goes Up, Must Come Down

In that spark, at summit
When sky is just on the way and is not the limit
Like lime being squeezed out of last drop of juice
As throne and king, in sweet affiliation, never in truce
High up taunting the call of gravity
Columbarium in tornado, reunion with plummeting abyss a true test of vitality
Motivation a lambasted frugality, an eternal ignite for those who drown
Is in action when what goes up starts to come down

The call of gravity cannot be denied its power, Samiha! High hopes and motivation can keep us going, but doubt can easily bring us down to earth. ~ Regards // paul
