Falling Poem by Fred Chamberlain

where are u the one i love
are u here as the dove
the dove in this picture that i see
down by the sea
that is so far away
so that i have to take the highway
to get out of here
to get over there
on the other side
to be beside
the photo of that dove
that photo of the dove that i love
yes the one by the sea
that i see
i just wonna be me
but know i see
that the leaves on the trees are changing color
because the weather is getting cold or
i have a heart of stone
but the cold has bit me down to the bone
the place where i can fix this is by the sea
where that photo is that i see
but know i don't feel that well
but there is a well
that goes deep
so i jump in and go to sleep
but the thing is that i am still falling
and not stopping
and know that i notice i remember that well on the t.v
its the well that has no bottem so i just drink my coffee
as I'm falling i know where my love has gone
she has gone to heave because her time is done
but i just keep falling
the free fall i have no stopping

so i just fall
