Catch Me







catch me
before i crash
and smash
into a thousand puzzled pieces
scattered to the edges of the flat earth

catch me
in a gossamer web
of soft words
a simple smile
and an understanding look

catch me
in a net of silk
of kind regard
a moment of compassion
and a promise of hope

catch me
in a veil of stardust
on the feathered edge of your fingertips
and hold me just above disaster
before i disappear forever

  2. Not to nitpick excessively, but I'm trying to figure out how the man in the picture would be falling to earth amidst a bunch of leaves, when he is falling from a skyscraper, which is so much higher than any tree. Or, are those metaphoric maple leafs, symbolic of Canada? Such deep questions for such a sleepy mind, which has to brave the rain and head off to work this morning.

  4. The music video is beautiful, and I love the sweet simplicity of your poem. It's safe to jump and trust that you will be caught.
