Don't Look Down
Not now
Not ever.
For the seeds of the trees
Fall down to the ground in silence.
Falling at the wayside
Like husband and bride.
Don’t look down
Not now
Not ever.
For the leaves of the trees
Fall down to the ground in silence.
Shambling through the earth
Like children and mirth.
Don’t look down
Not now
Not ever.
For the seeds of the trees
Fall down to the ground in silence.
Yet they reach for the sky
And discover they can fly
In relation to our childhood dreams.
So don’t look down
Not now
Not ever…
For we can only hope for tomorrow.
