 Fall (Scribbles Challenge #51)





I let myself fall from such great and eminent heights
Watching myself as I drop, with arms and legs flailing
Mouth opened wide, but no audible sound emerging
Eyes squeezed tight, forcing out terrorizing images


If I could calmly relax, I might enjoy the inevitabilities
The pure excitement of the unexpected circumstance
The sheer resignation that safety does not reside here
The anticipation of that certain swift and hard collision

I’ve no one but myself to blame for this predicament
Not pushed, I stepped off the edge of my own accord
There’s no turning back, once events are set in motion
Your gravitational pull has rendered me completely defenseless

Is this an allegory?
Posted by  stevehayes13  on 2009-11-03 10:21:23 
  
No, Steve....we were asked to write something under the theme "fall". You chose the season and did a totally kick-ass job! I chose "fall", as in "fall in love"...no allegory, although, if you find one there....and it sounds really intelligent and artsy fartsy...well, by all means let's go for it!

I thought it was a metaphorically description of our journey through life.

Well, I don't think I have enough figured out to write that one yet!

HOLY CRAP! Er.. .I mean.. WOW. Joanne, that was intense, and amazing! The perception of the dilation of time allowing the analysis of each fleeting sensation as it passes was fantastic!

The excitement and fear of falling in love. Such a roller coaster ride! Described perfectly :)

OOh, you always say such nice things...yes, it is nice and scary and everything in-between, isn't it?

why God made parachutes..
Posted by  pastormike  on 2009-11-03 11:17:35 
  
I know, but I've decided to live life on the edge now. I used to think, "Safety first!".... but I think I've missed some of the best opportunities love has to offer because of that...I'm still learning, Mike.

His Parachutes are faith and courage and hardearned wisdom.. they'll keep you from crashing down.. so JUMP!

Ah, it's not the fall that kills you - it's always the abruptness of the landing.
Posted by  Perigo_Minas  on 2009-11-03 11:28:35 
  
You're right...the funny part is, we know its coming, but we're always suprised when we land on our asses!
Posted by  funfreak  on 2009-11-03 12:09:03 
  
Very nice take on the challenge. Yes, giving in to love is scary wonderful.

Not to fear FF. We'll catch you on the first bounce!
