-- We Rise, We Fall --

John Herlihy

 

We rise

We fall

We surprise

We stall

 

We laugh

We cry

We gaffe

We sigh

 

We hope

We dream

We cope

We gleam

 

We live

We die

We give

We sigh

 

We give

We take

We forgive

We forsake

 

We ponder

We procrastinate

We wander

We wait

 

We fight

We relate

We write

We create

 

We ascend

Like the sun

We descend

Like the moon

 

We trinkle

Like stars

We swirl

Like galaxies

 

We rise

We fall

As sunrise

As nightfall

As life continually reminds us, all is paradoxical, many of life's experiences drowning in duplicity of purpose, even as right beside the growing phenomena integrity survives. Well stated word romp.

You bopped you hopped and avoided the rhymers rabbit hole. I wasn't sure you were going to make it. But you did, and all's well that ends well.

I believe we do all that John, at the end of ones life, we've done so much and the recalling is what makes us smile or cry, may your memories be mostly good , take care, the sky is the limit as long as we are still breathing, anything on earth is possible. :)
