Where, when, how? no better place than, Here And Now. don't wait for the right moment, it will never come. The sun could have imploded, and we wouldn't know for eight. minutes. Don't waste your nights dreaming, spend your days, doing.

tiny steps for tiny thinking
Idk What it is, But It Is, Seems Terrifying, But Questionable? Is It There, Or Not? If My hands Hold it, Then Where Is It, For The Ones, Without It, Seems Unfair, To me, It's A Choice, Wheter to Stay, The Same, The Usual, Or Take A Leap, Leap Like Icarus, And I Could Fly, But If I Fall, I Would Still Be Above, Then Where I am Now, Where I am Now.

Destiny
Skipping along the lines of each street, like a sweeping frenzy. Kicking dust up, filling the heavens with our earthly vessels. Breathing and singing, filling these earthly vessels with heavenly domain! Chapters riddle with jubilance and glee. Cannot hold a man down, when he is free indeed. Sarcasm flee, as chapters unwind. Hold my tea, I have a few moves to make. Grinding my nose in the stone. Count each brick as the wall is repaired. Enemies get to smitten, each cowering lie escaping my hair. Cause they curse my bread, only to choke on the shock. See hear, what doesn't **** you makes you stronger. Because of Jesus, I shan't die to anything~

Ready the weapon of Praise
She was a ray of sunshine; someone you could easily call inspiring. She reached to me and she gave hope. "If you don't jump you'll never get over the hurdles." and so for her, everyday, I leap.

Leap
In thee it flies, down thee it sighs There got thee back to the leap of graceful nihilism we dwell upon of forgottened veil unfolds in. Confessed, the sin invites. In me it strikes, down me it ties Cuz’ ain’t you a stranger too? Absurdity afloating back and forth, Alienation flattering be and not Nauseated, the chestnut tree sprouts. In hell it inane, down hearth it ablaze Until the sprakle’s all but gone Not in the way off the grounded What But on the sheer of That it is Unhindered, the cradling halo fades. In blue it prattles, down black it blusters Can’t the passenger paint a red eye? Sailboat shivering on the sea Salvation shotting at the sky Stumbled, the fallen angel flees. From a whisper sinking so close away: Here’s a flight doomed to fall a leap led to lost But I’ll show you how

Down a Leap
One day I want to climb to the highest place I can find stand face to face with danger and meet freedom in its eyes see the vastness of the blue sky and the stars as they shine take a leap into life and embrace death as mine

A Leap
You call me to step out on the ledge "I will catch you, I'll make good on my pledge" And Lord I trust you, but I'm filled with fear 'Cause I can't see you even though I know you're near Come to the edge and be not unbelieving, but believe So, slowly I approach the edge of the unknown You push me and, into the air, I find myself thrown Expecting to fall, expecting to die Surprised to find that, instead, I fly! It takes faith to walk upon the waters of the ocean It takes faith to learn that kind of deep devotion It takes faith to trust when the senses fail And faith that, through it all, life and love prevail It takes faith when we step across that line That He will lift us up and all will be fine It takes faith, it takes patience, it takes love But we will rise up on wings like eagles and learn to fly above Lord, you call us to the edge and ask us to jump. We can't always see you. Help us to trust and have faith that you are always there and will never let us down. Fear often holds us back from reaching our full potential and some fear is healthy. It helps keep us safe and out of danger, but sometimes we need a little push. You know just what we need Lord and when. Push us just a little, help us have that faith, and trust (and just a little bit of pixie dust?), take that leap of faith and learn to fly! we ask this and all things in the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen

It Takes Faith
I am Icarus as I yearn to fly, I am Icarus as I sore through the sky, I am Icarus as I want more and more, I am Icarus and the sky, I Adore! I am Icarus as I tend to forget I am Icarus and later seem to regret I am Icarus and greed gets the best of me I am Icarus and only a fall can break me free Even when I'm gone, my absence will hurt them, Even when I'm gone, generational will be my name, Even when I'm gone, I will leave a mark, My wings burnt and withered- Illuminating yet Dark! Reliant on aesthetics, I tend to forget nature, I can't bypass it, Afterall- Human is my stature, Such madness over crossing human bounds you might ask, Penetrating limitations might be my greatest task. Damnation and Mockery- my reward for such foolishness, Satisfaction and Idolation- I yearn for completeness My wings might be a commodity, But my flight is a necessity, You might forget or might you'll remember me The leap I took and what completed me I am Icarus and you might call me a fool, I am Icarus or you might think my act was cool, Well It doesn't matter to you, Does it? In the end I'm just a fragment in you memories! But for me and for generations to come, I AM ICARUS!

Icarus
Seeds of doubt churn with streams of hurt Leaving it's mark from brain to heart like ruts in plowed dirt It all collects and pools, a bottomless oddity here Who's the capture, who's the prisoner? That's never been clear Up to the moment life boils over the razors edge Ribbons of crimson spill quickly, careening off the ledge You had to have known it's all hollow, must I follow? Must I always question while you threaten the finality of every tomorrow? ©2024

~•§•~ Careening off the Ledge ~•§•~
Seeds of doubt churn in streams of hurt Blazing trails from brain to heart It all collects and pools deep Turning me prisoner Before life spills over the razors edge Ribbons of red spill over, off the ledge Must I follow? Must I alway question the reality of every tomorrow? Who wants to trade me for this sorrow? Who has a reset button I can barrow? No one? Thought so I'll just go ©2024

You ever wonder how bugs get trapped in those light fixtures? Why do they do it? Don't they see the collection of corpses through the glass? Why do they squeeze through the tight opening between metal and paint? Why gnaw through caulking and electrical tape if only to join the masses at the base of the ceiling light? It's Icarus, reincarnate. I think I'm one of those bugs, but I'm not Icarus. I'm more ignorant, more naive, if anything, stupid, because I know of Icarus. I was told the tale. Icarus made it. He had no moral from which to draw his conclusion. Beside himself with desire, he grew up with no such cautionary tale. But I did. And yet I fly anyway, understanding that my wings will melt, scared that my wings will melt, knowing the wax will burn my back and yet fearful of the pain. My mother always asked me, "If your friends jumped off of a bridge, would you jump, too?" I tell her "no", of course, but if I was told that beneath the shallow waters at the bottom of the bridge was the promise of success, it wouldn't matter how many mangled guts littered the rocky shore beneath. I would jump. If only to touch success for a second before I, too, joined the masses at the base of the ceiling light.

Bug
Dare I spend my time with you puncture my soul with your deep breath feel the pain in your feet walking the Earth and the universe with such love? Dare I spend time with you and risk falling into the abyss of deep sad blue and losing my self in that fall all with the chance that I will become who I was meant to be from the start of the ***** reaching the **** Dare I spend time with you laying myself out on the expanse of  your skin feeling its coarse surface learning its beautiful layers? May I have the courage to take this small leap to find you in the saddest and most joyful places. If I dare to spend time with you I will find myself in the strong grasp of your immense reach.

Dare I spend time with you?
Standing on the precipice Admiring the view Knowing fully well What stepping forward blindly will do He said, “What’s your favorite color?” And I said, “You.”

Leap
You have one of the most beautiful soul I have ever come across. Not a single blemish on your body could represent your eternal self. With eyes that see through, I look upon the beauty of your eternal youth. See what you may of my surface and wonder of my underneath, I am but the spring of passions and countless quantum leaps.

Leap Year; A Haiku
To take that step You bare your soul Ready for rejection Vulnerability taking hold To take that step You steel yourself Ready for acceptance Love thyself To take that step You make a transition Acceptance, rejection What’s the decision But to not to take that step To not be vulnerable Keeps you safe Leaves you comfortable To not take the step A life stagnates Lack of fulfilment Stalemate

Take the leap
Enveloping darkness, Mysterious and daunting. Secrets are covered, Memories disappearing. Confusion overwhelms, Frustrating and painful. Lies find life, Shadows follow... The ledge is near... Fear leads me, Can I even jump? It feels as though the darkness completes me. Spiraling deeper, Emotions are out of control. A whirlwind of pain, A never ending hole. Surrender, surrender! Drop the capital “I” Break the cycle, Rip up the box! The ledge is near... always within sight, ever shall it linger, Until we learn to take up the fight! The key is gratitude. The lock is hope. The doorway can open a new adventure, But only if you are seeking what is true... Leave the shadow, Face the almighty sun! Let the rays shine brightly, Let the journey of love start the fun... The ledge is here... Now what shall be done?
