Falling for Forever

Looking at the sparrows in the sky
I look below to see a giant black matt
And I think to myself
I am putting all my faith into this three feet thick matt
To break my fall
Just before I step of the ledge
I take a look at the trees
Little tiny rays of light peek through
And I always felt like they were creating a spotlight just for me
Right before I jump
I think what the hell are you doing Brooke
You know you have a fear of heights
As well as falling
But I push those thoughts
Back into the corner of my mind
And I jump
It’s funny how time seems to slow down
When you’re falling from three stories
As my body falls down to earth
I look at the sky
Noticing how the clouds look so soft
Wishing that I could lay on one of those cotton blobs
And just fall asleep
Just milliseconds before impact
The bright sun
Blinds my eyes
And realize
That holy crap I am falling
Then time speeds back up
And I crash
Into the dust covered matt
The matt is rough
But I don’t care
It broke my fall
And I didn’t break any bones
I roll off the matt
And run up the dirt trail
Back to the ladder
That will let me stop time again
Because I feel like I am falling for forever
