Leap of Faith
Falling over my own feet
Confidence in wires six
inches off the ground
Laid in parallel lanes
perpendicular to my path
Finding the will to leap in
one collective bypass
Over tendrils of
incapacitating doubt
Snaking in and leeching to my
sinew
Routes of nothing draining
Knowing the end is phasing
Out of this unknown to find a
certainty
In my bones, her like a
compass
Her words like the map, that
her faith in me
Can snap the trap to damn
this loneliness
On a spring, take this water
Fall into a reservoir of
everything
That was always there to jump
I see happiness coming for me
In the boughs of your arms
Walking towards me, yet
I must hurdle these linings
To embrace the combining
Of all that I profess to want
And fear to believe is
possible
In the tipping of these
obstacles
With so many past falls and
the
Taste of grit, dirt and oiled
spit
I wish the mask to laugh
And turn all of these into
Saturdays
And Thursday nights, the time
for you
The time of my life
