49. Acknowledge the Fall

49.
Acknowledge the Fall

Slipping and falling you drop off the path.
Hold your head high and remember to laugh.
What to do though when you disappoint your own being?
‘Try, try again’ they say … ‘It’s only you, you are fleeing.’
Get back up, acknowledge the fall.
Examine the lessons, understand the call.
Question where exactly it all went wrong.
Perhaps it was the right tune, but not the right song?
Banging your head hard, asking why this again?
You have been here before, why are you back then?
It will keep coming back – from the universe.
Until you grasp the lesson you have still not learnt.
Not need for chastising yourself, all is well, all is fine.
It’s when you are down you learn just how to refine..
Refine your own soul, your essence to bare,
Cut back to the goodness, you knew it was there.
Stumble and fall, land flat on your face,
Lying bare to the earth ain’t such a bad place.
Turn over face up, look up at the sky.
Remind yourself that you are just dust floating by.
Your time in this form, it is quick, it is fast.
Take heed of your lessons, this form, it won’t last.
Learn and then progress, find a new higher state.
Knowing yourself allows your navigation of fate.
Enjoy what you learn, never mind rocky road.
Don’t carry your baggage, it will lighten the load.
Look back over your shoulder, smile at your life’s past
Thank yourself for the lessons, thank yourself that you asked.
Life ever flows, from now to the new,
Constantly changing.. Even you, even you..
Learning to appreciate the flow,
Will sooner or later take you where you need to go.
