Jumping

My soul is screaming to jump

With no fear of hitting the ground

Trusting that I will be caught

My heart no longer earthly bound

But staring at the edge I’m struck

Terror seeps into my core

Drowning any objectivity

My mind and heart deeply at war

Frozen before I’ve even begun

The potential lain ahead

Leering and taunting me to jump

While suffocating me with dread

If I never jump I may never know

If I’ve found my answering call

But what if I jump with utter trust

And instead I only fall?

Putting it all Together

A source of strength and love
In the dark a guiding light
A picture of beauty and grace
A most beautiful and wondrous sight

A mystifying inner calm
That can quiet any weather
I wish you could see that
You already have it all together

The loyalty of your friends
Is a testament to you
Of the inner essence of who you are
The love you can't help but shine through

Your thirst for knowledge and understanding
And sincerity with no pretense
The indiscriminate kindness you share
And the wisdom you dispense

These are all pieces of the resplendent puzzle
That put together is who you are today
While the picture may change as your soul is honed
Your essence and beauty will forever stay
