Falling

Note: Read from left to right. Sorry the formatting is weird. I can't figure out spacing very well.

"Falling"

One falls

falls hard like a

great wooden oak

felled by the woodcutter's axe.

One falls

falls soft and smooth
as baby birds

finding and spreading their wings.

To crash with a deafening roar

or rise on the wind in fresh flight,

which will be my course?

As swift comes the fall,
as swiftly I crash,

or I soar.
