Fell

Have you fallen

In love today?

.

I fell in love

with the way

the mirror caressed

the miles on the body

.

I was given,

at love’s conception.

.

I fell in love

with the way

.

these old jeans

hold the legs

that carry me forward.

.

I fell in love with the child,

she gave me,

.

radiant and sun-born,

bright and bold

as tomorrow.

.

I fell in love with the end

of old things.

.

As I donate

what I love

but does not fit

.

to someone

who may need it

more than I.

.

I fell in love

with the path

.

I walk on, sidewalk sturdy

roadway clear, debris navigable

.

as the sky

moves the day forward

and onward

.

into the horizon ahead.
