Feel Safe with You
Safety Net
You are my safety net.
When I fall
Your arms
Like thick protective ropes
Catch and envelope me
Before sending me
Upwards
Again.
And next month
When you leave
For good
I will have to learn
To never fall…
Or to land well.
Not walking
The treacherous
Tight rope
That is Life
Is not an option.
Perhaps I can
Wear big skirts
That billow out
Like a parachute
When I fall.
Then the trick
Is to kick and
Coax the air
To propel me
Upwards
Again
