When the realization casts itself like a line or shadow in between Be it falling fast or stretched out in front with steady meaning There is no height too high, nor fear too great No better time or opportune place There is only this, the height, the fall And those opposed who choose to jump from such a height In truth, the fearless never notice their shadow The fearless jump, they never fall

When : Shadows Come (3)
When the realization casts itself like a line or shadow in between Be it falling fast or stretched out in front with steady meaning There is no height too high, nor fear too great No better time or opportune place There is only this, the height, the fall And those opposed who choose to jump from such a height In truth, the fearless never notice their shadow The fearless jump, they never fall
This one was a long time coming. It's the final verse of this small set of three and it deals with fearlessness. Not being afraid to ask, to shine, to be. It's about leadership to a small degree. But it's mostly about not hesitating when the things which you want the most is near. Don't wait. Don't give in to fear. Jumping is a choice. Falling is reactive.
