#leaping
I have climbed the cliff
To gain a chance for praise
Alas, the times I know too well
Are ones where I have fallen
The air itself had parted beneath me
Now to the cold, unwelcoming ground
My body is left to lay
But something sparked in my writhing mind
"Take the leap once more"
Brushing off the fear and dust
My ascent began anew
Before a word was uttered
The ground was far beneath my feet
Left behind with those worthless doubts
Today, I took flight
And when the wind was no longer
Beneath my frail, young wings
Smiling faces met my eyes
Warmed my heart
And caught me

Skyscraper,
skyshaper,
skysharper...
Don't mind the fall of ascending
for its gravity does the work for you.
A passageway to this wind tunnel is open now,
yet the recoil is still undone.
Leave the rest to the high-rise end,
and embrace your bound to the above.

And I take the leap:
This is what flying feels like
One voice says to me
This is what falling is
Another voice says
And I sometimes
wonder
which voice I should listen to
Those are the days
I wonder
what flying feels like
I wonder
if I could feel the air in my face
in my hair
spreading my lips into a smile
Or if all I could feel was an impact
A shattering of bones
A skip of the heartbeat
and then
no more....
Was it even worth jumping in the first place then?
If my life last only mere seconds
why even consider it?
But I think has something to do
with the difference
between
living
and
barely
surviving

You are the way
The truth
The light
None shall come
To the Father
Except through Me.
Follow in His footsteps
And you shall see,
It's been in front of you
All along,
Leave all
And be with Me.
Leaving it all behind,
Leaping towards Him,
All to find You were just
Leading me on.

Leaping light
Flashing fire
One moment he is gone
But to return
Suspended
Hanging
Then with a splash
Delightful play
He dives
And disappears
And we are left alone
And longing

erupting in me
like they had been in a cage.
maybe they were,
but you released them.
now they're free and
they leap every time
they hear you,
every time they see you,
every time
you are near me.
