( Dedicated to my best friend who I (stupidly, sadly, surprisingly) thought I'd lost.)
Walked in peace
All my worries, about to cease
Blissfully happy, oh, unaware…
Walked on, without a care…
Saw colors of every hue,
Red, green and even blue
Rejoiced, smiled, danced and sang,
Bothered not of any snag.
Too good to be true!
Screamed a voice.
To hell with you!
I kicked the noise.
Ah, you do know how it is.
Higher you are, harder you fall.
But never mind, I go on.
Through spring, summer, winter and fall.

"Higher you are, harder you fall."
That is so true.
For some reason, I have never been able to write a poem even though I have always wanted to.
I can't write poems either. When I sit down to write poetry it always ends in prose. I have no idea how I wrote this one.
we can never sit down to write poetry. it just has to come on its own.
hopefully.
higher you are, harder you fall is really true but weirdly enough i loved the use of 'i KICKED the noise'
(i do not why either...i can think of a lotta things with the phrase)
