The Fall

Silent, I hurl myself to the roar

Of all the oceans and the seas of life

I cast my pyrrhic resistance to the tempest

And cease such futility

As would hold me down beneath the waters.

I loosen my clinging hold on my will toward the halcyon

And so too my propinquity toward languor

And my subsequent yearning for a sudden panacea

My hands, my head, my heart

All guided now by that holy gossamer of universal truth

And the will of the divine.

I now quieten my many voices so cerebral

Shut my eyes with hands held open

To this precious ebb and flow

Her hand in mine

We fall into the skyline.

Tony, I am humbled by your supportive and motivating words every time. Thank you so much for such positivity, It genuinely goes a long way for me. Truth be told, my girlfriend and I are headed to China in the next two weeks, to try to start a new life. We have both been unemployed for more than a year, and things are getting tougher and tougher here in South Africa. So this piece is my expression of my acceptance and faith in the will of Divinity, if that makes sense.
