Take a Dive

I take a dive from a precipice.
To escape my life as it is.
Deep water, deep gulp of air
on resurfacing, new life to share.
Thrilled now that I dare.

It's how I felt at the time Mike. That was one hell of a jump. It hurts when your heart crash lands. Thanks for stopping by.

Did you laugh at my spelling mistake? I often do. Having a nice relaxing time losing all track of time. No nightclubs. I must be getting old. Hope you are well.
