Falling Foolish (2016 April PAD - Day 1)

Falling Foolish

 

Falling in love

is a foolish endeavor

(’though lovers – and others –

might tell you it’s clever;

trust me: 

it’s never.)

Falling

is for water –

raindrops and snow.

Tumbling’s for rocks

or a star’s final show;

but never for hearts.

(You & I

ought to know.)

Falling

is something

that’s best left to dreamers –

a calling best suited for sleep.

 Love is an action verb

Don’t fall – JUMP in.

(But look

before

you leap.)
