The high diving board (Free verse) by Win
Things look different
when the moment is upon you
standing on the edge
just a step away
the height more lofty
the vast expanse of water even more vast
the possibility of drowning that much more real
There is much to fear
but oh, fear even more
the turning away
You think you can take the coward's way out
and be safe from all danger
But that will never be
Free yourself from that illusion
and the utter despair that will follow when you fail
For I tell you,
you shall survive
And more than that,
you will be a soul transformed
Or don't jump
and never know what it means
to fly
to fall
to freeze time
and live only for the moment
to be taken by the power
and then to hold that power in your hand
to feel
the inspiring hope
the exhilarating rush
the sweet, sweet freedom
that can only be had
by risking everything
This is what it is to believe in love
