falling at wonderful heights
  I.
                   can we start again?
  reset the clock in the morning
  and hope for the best
  these days seem to go so quick
  and yet so slow at the same time
  i need time to catch my breath
  or do i need to stop?
                   i’m not sure
  II.
  i’m waiting for something
  something—i’m not sure what
  perhaps i’m waiting for you
  i’m on the edge
  i’m about to fall off
  and i suppose,
  it’ll be beautiful
  like a bird twirling, dancing
  my body will be effortlessly falling
  a painted dancer drawn to perfection
  by the artist’s eye
  a sunset exploding in vibrant colors
  like a bittersweet tragedy
  because we all know
  i’ll hit the ground
  sometime
  III.
  my heart feels alive
  it’s loud beats fill my ears
  like the powerful ocean waves
  crashing against the rocks
  it’s screaming, i’m alive!
  i can’t believe it
  what is this feeling?
                   am I falling now?
