Quadrille

rollin

when it comes to the crunch

i always leap

leaving no trail of crumbs

for the past to follow

 

this trust

this knowing

that i can both fly

and fall

is my rock

 

fluid and changeable

like the weather

allowing me to always flow

  1. I love the play on the words ‘crunch’ and ‘crumbs’, Paul, and the idea that you can leap and break from the past – if only! I love the lines:
    ‘fluid and changeable
    like the weather
    allowing me to always flow’.

  2. that trail of crumbs takes me instantly into a dark forest, with fear and adventure available in equal parts.

    As they say in Toy Story – that’s not flying, that’s falling with style…

  3. From title to end, I love this…..especially the way you allowed “falling” to be part of your “rock” instead of it only representing defeat. We can roll with the weather….we can roll with life!
