Array ( [sid] => 150370 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Leap [time] => 2009-06-01 17:42:20 [hometext] => Hope you like this! [bodytext] => Nothing seems sure,
nothing seems certain.
Not even you.

Are You there?
Sometimes I ask.

When you’re surrounded by darkness,
sometimes even light is hard to recognize.

But I can’t stay in this darkness any longer.
It’s driving me insane.
In this darkness I can’t see anything.
I can’t feel.
Am I…alive?
Even pain feels distant.

I must break free.

I summon all courage,
summon all hope,
summon all faith…

And leap…

Will I find light?

Will You catch me?

Can’t look back…can’t go back…
already leapt and now am falling.

Falling…falling…why haven’t you caught me?
Falling…where are You, God?
Falling…and then I realize
that You are there.
Your hands are around me,
and I am safe.
I am no longer falling,
but I am flying.
I am no longer in darkness,
but now I live in light.
I am no longer in bondage,
but you are breaking all my chains.
Slowly, you will set me free.

Now I am here.
Here where the sun shines and the rain falls but I am stable.
Here on solid ground, and here in the light.
No trouble can move me;
Your hand is on my shoulder.

A leap.
A simple leap, and You caught me.
A leap of faith…and,
a leap into your arms.
There is no place I would rather be.

…But where would I be, if I hadn’t decided to leap?

Great to have a friend and companion like that. When you leap he will give you wings. And sent the wind to carry you and caress your wings. It wil be the flight of an angel who knows it was born to be free and be an example to others aswell
