We reach for the sun and moon
While sky is falling into our eyes
And clouds surround our happiness and grief

The planet spins and we don't feel
Its force
Except in the everyday
Adventures and misadventures
Of our lives

We fall short of love and humanity
At times
While waiting for the bus to take us
To the path of our next destination

I fall short and have short falls
Everyday
Nevertheless, I promise to undertake
Life's adventures
And allow the world's graces to fill me…
