falling forward

I fall,

I trip and stumble.
I lose

my balance,

my grip on the rail.
I slip

on the wet pavement,
the crumbled

concrete
of what I've built.

i'm on my way down,

but out of nowhere,
on soft
wings,

you catch me,
and give me reason

to keep going.
I begin to believe

that love is possible,

yet again.
