The Great Fall

I may have fallen so very far, but at least I knew what it was like to touch the sky.

I soared amongst lush clouds, while you simply watched for fear of falling; thus being forced to face one's own Mortality.


But maybe the fall was the greatest thing of all.

 Maybe just maybe Mortality is what makes anything worth doing.


Maybe a life devoid of tragedy  isn't even a life.


Maybe it's death that defines a life not vise versa.

A life colored by tragedy may be painful.

But what's life without a Great Fall?

Is it even a life at all?
