Just because someone
You trust
falls off the path,
into the abyss,
don’t follow him down,
but carry on until he
starts the climb back.
Then reach down,
extend your hand
with love,
and help him join you,
and perhaps again lead you
on the path upward.
Because that’s what
He hopes you’ll do.
She stood/
on the verge/
of opening./
Facing the great chasm/
and depths of life,/
she clung to him/
who explained/
everything./
As she leaned forward/
to leap/
into the abyss,/
hoping a net would appear,/
feeling secure/
that he would not let her/
fall,/
he took a phone call./
So she, feeling spurned,/
turned/
and ran,/
again,/
back to her safe place,/
and put back on her bland face,/
and hid.
