Time
It slips around a corner
Like rabbits on the run
Chased by zealous dachshunds
Out to have some fun.
You hardly know direction's changed
Until you hit the wall
And find yourself with aches and pains
And bruises from the Fall.
the Fall

The Crash
When at last the mighty fall,
They fall like redwoods,
Leaves and all.
They scrape the sky,
But leave no traces,
Only wide and empty spaces;
They hit the ground
With mighty cracks,
Loud apocalyptic thwacks.
Nature then sees to the rest,
Disappearing them with zest.
That is how the mighty fall,
Angels, men, and redwoods tall.
The adventure continued...

The Fall
Every time I think of heights
I give myself a case of frights.
Standing on the very edge
Of a high and windy ledge,
Even with a rail around,
I know the terror of the ground,
Meeting it with every bone,
No time to hear my final groan.
A new Heaven, a new Earth, a new Body...

The Gift
There's no brushing teeth in Heaven;
There's no body care at all,
For God's resurrection body
Repairs all the ills of the Fall.
