Leap

LEAP

Leaning over the cliff of self, I pray

It is dark, what is there?

Trust in Him, don’t despair

I love, I care, I want, I need

Forget all that

Trust, take heed

The answers lie below

The truth rushes up, by letting go

And greets you in an embrace

I pray, I cry, I scream

My last hopes, desires

I leap, with joy

I remember standing at a window overlooking trees being tested to their capacity when I wrote this and the previous poem. It was a particularly hard time for me and a typhoon was blowing in. It was interesting to go to the beach in the middle of a typhoon. Embrace change. Enjoy what you have in life.
