Week 58

I think you are the third
leap of faith
I've ever taken.

I think the first one was
When I believed God and the poets
And said to myself
That love would come to me one day
As they promised.

The second one
Was when I listened to the universe
And opened up my soul to the world.
"The measure you give
Will be the measure you get back"
So I sliced her open,
Poured her out
And waited.

The third leap
is You.
And you know that
Because that is what you demand of me.
So I comply
Because obedience and humility
Are virtues,
God and the poets told me that
when I was only two.

I stand at the edge of this cliff
And it is high,
the waters below swirling and dangerous.
Yet I run and jump
Take a flying leap
To the other side,
To You on the other side
In faith, in hope, and love
My open empty soul carrying me higher than
I can explain or want,
Flying so close to the blazing sun and brilliant stars on my way to you,
Flying in faith
And in words
Waiting for other side,
Stuck in between.
