Falling Down: NaPoWriMo #1

Falling Down

Before going down,
back to bedlam and chaos
thoughts wander to better days,
a heartfelt celebration,
abundant joys.

Hearts swelled,
like a the Goodyear blimp,
up to lofty heights.
Jubilation.

Now feels forgotten,
like a tire
in life’s dumps
cast off

Falling from graces,
after the beautiful letdown,
I’m left speechless—
I know
I’m spoken for.
