Here I stand
In between
An ending
A beginning
If the door closes
Should I open a window
Take a leap
To see if I can soar
Never mind the height
Flying at speed
Ground falling up
A million miles an hour
Brace for impact
By letting go
Of what I cannot see
What I can’t control
Only then maybe
I will find me
Swirled in a second wind
Leaving behind
All that has been
Embracing all I could be
In between
An ending
A beginning
If the door closes
Should I open a window
Take a leap
To see if I can soar
Never mind the height
Flying at speed
Ground falling up
A million miles an hour
Brace for impact
By letting go
Of what I cannot see
What I can’t control
Only then maybe
I will find me
Swirled in a second wind
Leaving behind
All that has been
Embracing all I could be

I’ve been writing a little each day this month and FLIGHT RISK is one result of this endeavor.
