Contributed By: spike




at life’s edge, the drop sheer
heart gripped in utter fear
the uncertainty of the near,
overwhelms the head.

the next step is so hard,
to show safety no regard
to test the air, windward
and force the leap of faith.

the confluence of all things,
as the unfurling of wings
causes the voice to sing,
a joyous cry of freedom.


the strength to look ahead,
through the tailings of dread
to find courage instead,
to be what you can be.
