Plummet
Life is only a matter of falling in
And falling out
And as I plummet
I am everything I have become
Growth is not measured in altitude
There are many lessons in the ravines
As well as the peaks
And now I will rest in the rivers
And take comfort in the shade
I’ll look up to the exposed cliff I once scaled
And mend the consequences
I can now say I have become
And I am falling out of strength
To become soft again
And I’m falling out of exploration
To become safe again
And I’m falling out of independence
To be held again
And I find it all to be beautiful
And toilsome
Actively choosing to be present
When I still mourn for the sky
And falling out
And as I plummet
I am everything I have become
Growth is not measured in altitude
There are many lessons in the ravines
As well as the peaks
And now I will rest in the rivers
And take comfort in the shade
I’ll look up to the exposed cliff I once scaled
And mend the consequences
I can now say I have become
And I am falling out of strength
To become soft again
And I’m falling out of exploration
To become safe again
And I’m falling out of independence
To be held again
And I find it all to be beautiful
And toilsome
Actively choosing to be present
When I still mourn for the sky

This is a stunning write! I agree with MS - Milton had it between binders. But you have it in real life.
