Acknowledge the Fall

a poem about getting up again

Slipping and falling you drop off the path

Hold your head high and remember to laugh

What to do though, when disappointing your being?

Try, try again for it is only you that you're fleeing

Get back up, acknowledge the fall

Examine the lessons, understand the call

Question exactly where it all went wrong 

Perhaps the right tune, but not the same song

Don't bang your head hard asking why this again

You have been here before, so why you back then?

It will keep coming back - from the universe

Until you grasp the lesson you still have not learnt

Don't chastise yourself, all is well, all is fine

It is when you are down you learn how to refine

Refine your own soul, your essence to bare

Cut back to the goodness, you knew it was there

Stumble and fall, land flat on your face

Lying bare to the earth ain't such a bad place

Turn over face up, look toward the sky 

Remind yourself you are only dust floating by

Your time in this form, it is quick it is fast

Take heed of your lessons, in this form you won't last

Learn and progress, find a new higher state

Knowing yourself allows navigation of fate

Enjoy what you learn, never mind rocky road

Don't carry your baggage, it will lighten the load

Look back over your shoulder, smile at life past

Thank yourself for the lessons, for it was you that did ask

Life will keep on flowing, from now to the new

Constantly changing, even  you, even you

Learn it now, cherish the flow 

It will soon guide you to home, where you know
