Why do we have to fall at all, a friend who is now lost, once asked me. I am now replying in the hope he will rise.


Why do we

 

Why do we fall from a height?

Why do we fall in our own eyes?

Why do we fall in love?

Can someone put me wise?

Why do we at all think of falling?

Why not rising

As we all do

And want to

Why do us not the same way

Rise in love as we ought to

Why do we fall at all?

When we have no need to

Why do we fall for bait?

When we don’t have to

That’s a gig question

Who will answer that for me?

What we want to do

We just have to

But why should we all fall

For the love that’s our due.
