I was spinning through the air
when I thought my life was ending,
but I was really on the ground and
you were lying right there next to me.
I looked right into your eyes
and I found myself pretending
that we were high above the canopy
but tethered to the trunk of a tree.
Slow down, take time, and see
the forest for the leaves.
I know that I, should practice
what I preach
I was falling to the ground
when I felt my body breaking,
but I had fallen in your lap
with my head tilted back so I can see
the sun eclipsed by your hair
that left a halo hanging
Waiting above so when you go
you wont have to wait to get your wings
Slow down, take time, and see
the forest for the leaves.
I know that I, should practice
what I preach
