Here is where it all began
At the precipice
Facing all my dreams.
Glistening like water down below
I know I won't be hurt by them
If I hold my breath and dive
Feet-first into the depths
I can test the waters there
with my legs.
Still I am paralyzed with fear
What if I stumble and miss?
Hit my head on the rocks?
I won't get up again
will be as good as dead.
But a little voice whispers
'Let go and fall.
I promise to catch you'
And so I shut my eyes
Spread my arms like wings
and plunge headfirst into the abyss.
