Falling

There's falling hard,
Catching yourself,
Shaking it off,
Continuing to run.

And falling fast,
Rolling with it,
Regaining your feet,
Resuming the pace.

Or falling slow,
Stumbling a bit,
Ignoring the step,
Retaining life's course.

Then there's the fall
That scarecely goes noticed
'Til finding yourself
Wrapped in embrace.
