I always liked the sensation of falling

That moment of weightlessness

The emptiness when your stomach drops

As a child I would close my eyes and pretend to fall

Sometimes I could actually feel it for a few seconds

And in those moments

I was flying

I was free

Now I am bound

Bound to the meaningless going-on in this world

Kernels of sand in the hourglass of our life

Still falling

But to what end

To The end

They drop and drop

Like rain

Endless rain on the roof of my thoughts

A million patterns

Meaningless

Yet they exist

Like us

Each of us scrambling for a sliver of sense

In this ocean of senselessness

Like the flowing water I drift from day to day

A leaf on the current

Moving but going nowhere

I fell from the tree that gave me a place where I belonged

For a moment I was unbound

Free

Flying

But then I fell

Only this time

I wasn’t a child anymore

 

Sooo... this seems kind of depressing, and I'm not quite sure where it came from. But just to be sure: I'm not depressed or anything.
I just happened to think about this kind of stuff a bit lately. Maybe that's why..
And then I decided to write something for the Live-Love-Write writing prompt
The theme was water, and I now I kinda deviated from that, but its still in there... hope that counts

Anyway, please comment if it means something to you or if you hate it or if you found a mistake. Just talk to me! I love that ^-~

Wow...

I can actually relate to this a lot with my life, so reading this sort of matched with some life philosophies that I've been reflecting in my head. Thanks for this :)
