Earthing

Poetry

Jan 3

So you fell in love

sweet child

you fell in love

and it didn't feel foolish like falling used to feel

that sudden sideways landing

red-faced and skinned knees

get up quickly and cover up so no-one sees you fell

you fell

you fell in love

sweet child

you fell firmly into that slow-motion crescendo that starts off pianissimo

familiar and close and easy

you're falling freely

and you don't even know you're falling

til you wake up naked and find your wings on the ground

bare soles surrendered to the heavenly soil

of the here-and-now

and forever goodness

of who you truly are

and the earth feels so warm fresh salty-sweet under your feet

and it feels so alive when your hands meet

so you don't want to get up

and you don't want to leave

and you don't care if everyone sees

because after all these years of floating away

you are finally

touching down.
