A Girl With Kaleidoscope Eyes

Free Fallin’

My toes tighten, grasp onto what little amount of earth I can barely feel underneath me. I hold as tight as I can, even with all my weight on it, it still could be tighter, stronger, more secure. I take a deep breath and make a slow, deliberate movement higher. The ground quickly appears farther than before. I stare out into the landscape before me. Trees, surrounded by more trees. Trees that are just starting to feel the change; gently they are beginning their transformation. Hints of yellow and amber embrace their outer most edges; it’s too soon for them to meet their crimson fate. Centered in these trees is immense coolness, a pool of nature’s tears. The air blows smooth, hot air on my body, and a rush of nervous shivers covers me, and my hair slowly rises in response. My tightly bound hands adjust once again, as I inhale my breath trembles. I do a dance to ensure that my feet are perfectly placed. I close my eyes, count down to my descend, and in moments it happens. I’m soaring through the air, feeling it surround every inch of me, only to be met with those cool tears, and to fall into my love again.
