Falling isn’t hard.
All that provokes falling, is imbalance.
Though you may be rooted, the possibility
of instability
is constant.
Saving yourself from falling is a different matter.
Hurry to scrape the weight in your unconfessed shadows.
Acknowledging such unsteadiness while
my heart’s beat grows closer I’ll
Attempt to alter my center of gravity.
Gravity,
is humanity’s ground opposed to religion
Thus proving every one of us has sinned tradition.
With failure follows triumph
And with sin comes resurrection.
Falling is inevitable, though rising is not.
