I Just Fell"

I fell to the ground
For no apparent reason
It seemed at the time
That is.

Two young lads
Helped me to my feet
30 years young each
You OK pop?

One asked
I shyly responded
"I Just Fell"
As I dusted myself.

Falling through a vortex
Of time
Echoes of children
At play
Burning through my mind.

Getting closer and closer
Found myself
Reading a news paper
At a Park bench.

All youthful again
Children
cheerfully at play
All around me
I heard a child cry.

Looked up, it was my son
Rushed to his side
He held his knee
As he silently cried
You Ok, I asked
"I Just Fell" he replied.

Between his fingers
I can see, a strawberry scrape
I embraced him
Gently kissed his head
Wiped away his tear.

Slowly I swept him off his feet
Lets go home
Mommy will fix you
You'll see.

On the way home
We heard sirens, at a distance
No need for an ambulance Dad
"I Just Fell"
He said.

As the sirens closed in
My eyes open
The two young lads were talking
To Police Officer.

As I was straped, to a gurney
I said to the EMS attendants
While for the hospital journey
"I Just Fell."

contrasting emotions, dynamic imagery, fantastic writing! I hope all is well--I hate to fall, the older I get, the harder it is to get over the ramifications.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla. :)

The juxtaposition of the "then" and "now" make this poem very effective, William. Thank you. Love, peace, and strength to you.

William,
Being a parent, never turns us loose. Even as we age and we should probably be thinking about our own health and well being, still it is them we first bring to mind.
I certainly hope all is well with you.
Stunning write in timeless tidbits.

Skillfully meshed time-lapsed events, William. Those falls can be tricky as time goes by... Hope all is well, Poet!

WOW, William, you twisted me in so many directions with this marvelous poem. Surreal and captivating, I couldn't stop reading. I hope this isn't a true story and if it is, I hope that you are ok.
Take care,

oh, dear, i hope all is well, bill; you are in my prayers! i can relate; but i usually just laugh it off. i always tell people if i fall and i then start laughing, then all is well; it's when i don't laugh is when they should start worrying. take care, my friend, and be careful!
