Love’s Philosophy

The fountains mingle with

the river

And the rivers with the

ocean,

The winds of Heaven mix

for ever

With a sweet emotion;

Nothing in the world is

single,

All things by a law divine

In one spirit meet and

mingle-

Why not I with thine?

See the mountains kiss

high Heaven

And the waves clasp one

another;

No sister flower would be

forgiven

If it disdained its brother;

And the sunlight clasps the

Earth,

And the moonbeams kiss

the sea, What are all these

kissings worth?

If thou kiss not me?

By Percy Bysshe Shelley

(1792-1822)

Falling

I cannot hold on any longer,

Intense the heat,

Shattered plate glass,

Cuts into my feet.

Screams turn to sobbing,

And the wind it howls,

Pushed to the edge,

No safe haven, no hope now.

I cannot hold on any longer,

And the wind, it haunts me,

Fumes they sicken,

Burning ashes floating downward.

Sparks ignited,

Burn my flesh,

Silent screams…

Agony envelopes me.

I stand one last time,

Scorched and blackened,

See the sky so cool and blue,

It is my Heaven!

I step out towards it,

No longer feel the pain,

Falling…

The sky before me,

And the earth rises to greet me,

Breaking me,

I am, no more.

Why I Write

It is my hope to share with as many people as possible that…

Which is inherit in all humanity,

The emotions we ride on as we experience another days existence.

Like it or not.
