Leap of faith

Sometimes it feels like I can clear the gap
between where I’m standing and where I’ll end up
and that’s when I want to jump

I want to feel the impact of my body
falling through the air
Slipping through the seconds
The rush of the wind coming out from under my body as it hits the surface of the air
And then leaves it

With only the whisper of me, not my name

I want to share my secrets with the land that gave birth to me,
and get lost in the space between–
completely suspended in this beautiful energy
I could fly forever.

I could plunge the depths and never have to worry about coming back up for air.
