The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

Falling


Arashi

Recommended Posts

Air above and below

Nothing holding me to this place

Destination unknown

Up is down

Left is right

Three dimensional in this 8-bit world

Free falling into the abyss

Savoring the kiss of freedom

As I slowly drift back into this hollowed happiness

Questions rushing through my mind

About the past

About the present

About the future

Catching one question before it disappears

And holding onto it like a last hope

Not reading what it contains

Just grasping it as a momento of this visit

Splash down occurs as I hit rock bottom

I unfold and examine the ponderence

As I float without feeling

 

Why is it that every time I am falling to my death

I feel more alive and happier?

Welcome back!

 

For some odd reason, this reminds me of the way I play driving video games - exploring what happens by the different ways of crashing before ever bothering to complete a lap. The graphics of crashing into molten magma are one of my favorites.

 

In life, it's not the freefall that gets you. Falling through the air can be a huge rush. It's the sudden stop at the end if you don't have a parachute that is the downer.
