Like falling through the air,
Gravity pulls me down.
Nowhere to go,
And I can't turn around.
You were going to find me,
And you started to search.
But you've given up,
Just sat on your parakeet perch.

© Daniel H., Durham, NC

The author's comments:
Sometimes some of us are lost and falling in slow motion, secretly hoping someone's searching for our soul, but then they just give up. Sometimes silence is the loudest cry.
