Analysis of Falling Up
Turning another page to story our past,
Be struck by how much hasn’t changed.
The feelings and memories of glowing anticipation,
Welcomed silence celebrates one moment to the next.
An ending comes near to many, and some don’t make it,
Hearts and falling tears keep us up enough to reach out.
A glisten of hope from a small interaction,
Passing the year finishes with more leftovers to feel.
