Analogy

I used to believe
that life was like flying
you can look around
enjoy the view from the top
choose your destination
speed and timing
take a pause
light on a branch
sometimes a great gust
might toss you
but the currents always re-align
and you will catch the breeze
but now
now I believe
that life is like falling
fun at first
glorious really
carefress, then
time speeds up
everything blurs
so aware that you are out of control
then it becomes a blessing
you don't have to think
landing is inevitable
you are going to crash
you accept it
and finally relax
