I run as
fast as my
legs will allow.
Heart open,
enjoying the freedom
as the wind brushes
against my cheek.
No concerns,
I can run eyes
closed just as
easily as open.
Out of nowhere
there's a cliff.
I stop too
scared to look
over the edge.
Where did it
come from?
How could I
have not seen it?
I tremble,
my knees grow week.
A sudden chill.
I so feel cold.
I have nowhere to go.
There's no going back,
time moves only one way.
I hold my breath as I
prepare to look over the edge.
A precipice not only
in metaphore but
within my very being.
Hang my head over,
open my eyes.
I can't believe what I see...
Hope.
Life.
God.
Purpose.
Love.
Just keep going.
