It is okay to fall!

–by Amanita Sen

–Reading Time – 1 min Approx

If you did not reach out

for her with your hand

when you saw she fell,

if you thought it’s all in

the game to fall and not

all falling needed a hand

to be up and about, in fact

some falling rather found

its way back on its foot

all alone, for it isn’t fair

to fall, not for anyone;

you might have been right!

 

But spare her the laughter

at the memory of falling,

for the laughter when cuts,

does so irrevocably and

it would be like the scattered

pearls, from the torn string-

never to be retrieved ,

ever to be considered

an all-too-soon aborted joy,

a true prayer unheeded to,

a duet song left unsung-

her stricken, fallen heart !
