The shivering fingers and trembling toes are standing on the edge
Stomach dropping in nervous fear seconds stretching beyond
~To anticipate~
The toes curl around the edge as the moment stretches
Until eyes close and a mind flies away watching from afar
~And jump~
Toes grip tighter for a moment more molding to the edges
pushing away from the springing-back board launching into the air.
~To fly~
The infinite moment and feet fly free from limited eternity
The second of freedom the invisible wings the high-peak of ecstasy
~And fall~
The air rushes by sweeping all trembles into the stomach
Floating high above are the fears waiting patiently on the side.
~To crash~
The cold concrete rushes up to meet the flailing limbs
Driving all thought from the head as it swarms within
~And swim~
Water sweeps along the arms and legs remembering where they are
And meeting the fears like an unwanted friend left behind long ago ~ Is tasting infinite freedom Only to be swept away In the rushing river of time. ~
