This Is the Way

a stream-of-consciousness poem

I fall down.

I get back up.

Mostly I fall down.

.

I spend a lot of time down,

come to think of it.

Very little time up.

.

I stumble a lot

in between

the actual falling.

.

Down and up,

stumbling, fumbling, tripping, lunging;

starting all over again.

.

This is the way of salvation.
