A Beginning (Poetry)

A Misty End

As I fall through the mist

I pondered the end

Shades of blue embrace me

Where the clouds had not

Wind both softens and encourages my fall

A shriek of excitement tears through my lips

It was gone in an instant

Swallowed by the sky I fall through

My hands grasp at air

Air I am struggling to breath

I was crashing from my high

This is what happens as you fall from cloud nine

Cerulean backdrop, pearl clouds, golden light

They make up the palace of which I have been evicted

The palace of the stars

The night

The day

And everything in between

As I fall through the sky, it snatches my thoughts

As fleeting and faint as the breeze

My hair whips around me and I can no longer see

People talk of what happens as the sky is falling

No one ever talks of what happens as you fall through the sky

My heart beats in time with the wings of the birds

My smile fades as the light does

I fall

fall

fall

and hit the ground

The earth doesn't hold me like the sky did

I had wings and they burned

Bones break and shatter

They scatter like shards of glass

The wind has gone

And I am alone

Clouds didn't support my weight

I was weightless for mere moments

And now I have fallen
