Would you catch me if I fall?
Care to see if I m alright.
Promise to give us your all?
And vow to stand united.
For a worthy and noble cause;
Let’s step up without a pause.
Don’t stop don’t ever pause;
Lest we break down and fall.
When passion rules the cause;
Don’t fear to do whats right.
Watch as our emotions unite;
Perception shared with all.
Come with good will or not at all.
United we stand, divided we fall.
Pledging allegiance to the cause;
Learn to determine what is right.
If people around the world unite;
Peace won’t have to face a pause.
Shutting our eyes won’t make it right;
The leaves have ripened to the fall.
We might win a little or lose it all;
Do not put your life on pause.
Just tune it out and find a cause;
Feel your heart and soul unite.
Now when we have united;
Everything seems to be alright.
Let’s start without a pause;
All for one and one for all.
Continue on this noble cause.
Seasons change from summer to fall.
So when you feel that life has paused;
Search for a noble, worthy cause.
Feel the delight when hands unite;
Be true to self and good to all.
Know that you’ll be quite alright;
Even if you trip and fall.
Promise to catch you if you fall;
Pain and sadness won’t be caused.
Come back with me to first of all.

Form: Sestina
A noble message Sanaa.
As I was reading your sestina I was thinking why doesn’t this happen? It does when ego, prejudice and that goal to be number one step aside.
Fantastic form Sunny One

Catch me if I fall – Love the way this opens and finishes, a sense of forlorn wanton living and hope in the midst of circumstances. Excellent.

Verse 2 is my favourite; that kind of melding is certainly something to look forward to

First, I loved the rhyming verse. It gives it a really nice rhythm.
Second, it’s a beautifully wrought poem. It’s only when we are united that we can put an end to all the prejudices and judgments and live together in peace. I really liked the ending.

Ah, yes. You’ve captured why it’s better to work together than to fall alone. Great rhythm!

Even when we unite we run the risk of failing, but even then – having the others there to support you in your falling, makes it a beautiful thing. Nice form ma’am

Good job with the sestina form which I find fiendishly difficult to write. Altruistic poem…we can only keep hoping I suppose.

It’s always important that we question – is it right, honorable, good – before we commit to any cause.
I think humans are inclined to often commit without thinking.
Hello Bill,
Thanks for stopping by, so glad you liked it 🙂
Highly appreciated, have a nice weekend.
Flawless form; a Sestina can be a bear cat, but you make it look like a sweet house kitty. The message, albeit idealistic, is a call to fellowship, for heart connections, a halt to chaos, & all the negative “isms”–race, sex, patriot, etc.
Hello Glenn,
Thanks for stopping by, so glad you liked it 🙂
Highly appreciated, have a nice weekend.
It is good to be united with someone with whom there is mutuality….with heart AND soul! Is it luck or skill or destiny? I always wonder.

unity among nations and people generally is a wonderful thing – so hard to gain but makes so many things possible – and def. a path to peace and freedom as well
Hello Claudia,

Very impressive that you were able to switch it up from stanza to stanza, despite the repetition style. Substance wasn’t sacrificed either – powerful words.
Hello Alex,
Thanks for stopping by, so glad you liked it 😀

Hi, a very nice and heart warming message – I like the rhyme scheme you use too but somehow when I read the piece as a whole, I find that the charm is somehow faded, which could have held it better. Just my thoughts.

Unity an exercise in human heart..
where we dance together
for common purpose
expressing spirit
in lights of
unifying soul..
the purpose must
be one.. to bind the
tribal instinct together
as one.. so what will be the
purpose.. the only Universe
of purpose i feel is dance.. even
many people with challenges in life..
can still wave their arms in air of loving
US..
i am the
change i
wanna BE..
i AM DANCE..:)
P.S. YOUR POSITIVE
ENERGY IS INSPIRING..:)

First of all, the rhyme and rhythm of this is so very good and tight. Next – the message. Indeed, if only we could be united and be there for each other. it is a wonderful thought and I hope one day, it will be a truth.
