Brink
Hanging
on the brink
of indecision.
on the brink
of indecision.
Toes curled
around the narrow
ledge.
There is a freedom
in the fall,
but,
oh,
to know
where I will land:
a wish to clear
the haze
below,
to wind the maze
'tween instinct and
desire,
to know if what
awaits
are thorns,
the hard cement,
or outstretched arms.
But sometimes,
not to jump
means hitting bottom
just the same.
I guess
I'll take
the leap.

Post a CommentGood one. I love the flow of this one and the great wordplay.
wow great piece; i love its form
I love the symbolism
Very moving, Tina.
I love this poem Tina!!! It reminds me of that test of faith you give your friends or spouse where you close your eyes and fall backwards, trusting that they will catch you.
Strong and moving!
Excellent.
This is awesome!
This was powerful! to take that step is the hardest part...
