    I fell from the branch of a tree,
    but i did it intentionally.

    I wanted to fall from somewhere high.

    It wasnt because I thought I could fly.

    I just wanted to fall from somewhere high.

    Back and forth I was swinging from the branch.

    Swinging from my legs.

    I was upside down.

    I could see the world more clear.

    I saw the worlds' "upside", was down as well.

    Then suddenly somewhere between letting go.

    Somewhere between hitting the ground.

    Before everything got flipped back around.

    To where were told it all belongs.

    There was a moment I became a child.

    A child I once was.

    An intentional moment.

    "In that moment I did fly".

    When I fell from somewhere high.

    .... Remembering when i was young... I wanted people to pay attention to me so sometimes I intentionally jumped off of something saying "look at me" Not being scared at all that it would hurt me.... I know not to jump out of trees anymore ... that hurts =) lol. well I love your poem. thanks for sharing it!!

    falling from trees sounds fun
    i mean, just the concept of falling from a certain height and the feeling it brings
    but there's also the feeling of pain once you hit the ground
    but hey, pain isn't as permanent as a special emotion
    so i think that poem is awesome

    thank you and i agree ..the small price of pain is worth a larger feeling of "flying"

    aside from the wisdom that is gained as you grow older...there is nothing that i would want more than to be a child forever...and many say i have an old soul...yet with a peter pan complex....im am happy to remind one of their childhood..so many more doors were open then....

    "That baby sees the world with a completeness that you and I will never know again. HIs doors of perception have not yet been closed. He still experiences the moment he lives in . The inevitable bullshit hasn't constipated his cerebral cortex yet. He still sees the world as it really is, while we set here, left with only a dim historical version of it manufactured for us by words and official bullshit"

    i do concur, and add with delight, that i do try somethings habitually, some things occasionally. some anually , some periodically ("all" the "ally"s)but i do try everything at least twice.

    wonderful ~~*
    fall is such a fantastic season;
    like a leaf being reborn as earth.
