I took a leap of faith and fell
Through the opening of the clouds.
Frowning as they failed to break my fall -
My unreliable shrouds of confidence.
But as I make my landing by your side,
I find I have no such qualms.

A smile, a slight wave of the hand,
And I fall over again and again;
I pick my bones and my heavy body up
But I always forget to retrieve
That pulsating beat you hear
Behind your head and against your palms.

Handle with care, I beseech of you,
But you hear not of my words;
You are too far away, your pace is too fast
And all that is left are half-truths and a mess.
So I search and seek for those very
Words of affirmation in your sacred psalms.
