My Next New Flight
I reached the edge of the cliff
It was then, I suddenly didn't feel like I was going to fall
I lifted my arms in the air toward the sky above
I welcomed whatever it is to happen next
A combination of trust and faith wrapped me like a blanket
As I felt the fear disperse, like fog erased across the landscape
I had no reasons why, it just happpened
Maybe I just needed to be pushed this far
To see all that I can lose and appreciate all I still have
For what I have is life and the air I breathe
That at one point , I thought my health would end
It didn't, so now this new set of circumstances,
Having come upon me, almost feels like a relief
Compared to all the slow days of getting here
Something has to happen now and I believe it will
There is a view of a mountain I know of, in my mind
Pulling me forward for some reason
Maybe one day, I will be looking at it in person
At a time when all this will make sense
For right now as my life teeters on the edge of the unknown,
I can still see where all my dreams have flown
Their destination has always been right
I am ready for what I often mention when I write,
-- My next new flight --
