After a fall, who stays standing? This is a free verse poem
If death was called by a fall,
no one would move.
If you could stay still
why would you live?
Who said death wasn't love?
People fall all of the time,
what makes this time different?
It doesn't.
This isn't the first fall.
It most certainly is not the last.
The fall is from loss, or death.
Sadness causes people to want a new start.
To fall from sadness is the high point of life.
Because with out it we can't be happy.
That is how, and why, sadness is life.
So when you fall, Will you land on your feet?
