Falling From The Sun
On stumbles, scars and second chances
The Sweaty Man’s Cap
twisted in the sun
tumbled down life’s ladder
Couldn’t reach the sun
.
The happy man’s trousers
soaked in blood
joy’s bubbles burst
through the breath of air
.
Body contorted in pain
Foolishness pays its price
Colors must wait
He curses his misfortune aloud
.
Put on pause
Others’ lives go merrily on
Spectator to the carousel’s spinning
When to climb aboard again?
.
The wounds heal
Pride took a fall
The horse snorts again
Come and ride me
.
Hesitant
Wavering
Comforting himself
Doubtful
.
A new sunny day begins
For a moment, forgotten
The scars life carved
Reaching for the chance
.
Learning from what was
Guarding against renewal
Grasping the sun’s rays
With oven mitts on
