Falling

I am reminded every day that walking
is just a constant state of falling
and that progress is nothing more than
the cliché one step at a time

but falling is just returning
to our natural state, to the earth
and when we rise again from the ground
it's a consumption of our own
energy, our own muscles
and the air contributes, too, to
our forward falling across the earth
by putting the red in red blood cells.

So, while gravity fights us, earth loves us,
and air urges us on
we fall into our next step almost
by accident but a world of elements
says otherwise.
