How Far the Fall

[zindagi jee]

Eye’s closed a step to be taken

My foot feels the grounds edge.

Pebbles fall…

Ripples in the water

Their last wish

How high I am

How far the fall

Heart beat races

Thunder from heavenly places

Lightening crashes

The earth shakes beneath my feet

How high I am

How far the fall

A breeze caresses my face

Daring me to leap

It whispers

How will I know if I never try?

How high I am

How far the fall

I draw a deep breath

A canyon’s sigh

I pour myself out

Cool rain drops from clouds

How high I am

How far the fall

A feather on the wind

Drift away like summer afternoons

An Eagle soars brave

The sparrow trusts the unseen

How high I am

How far the fall…

Into Life’s sweetest dreams
