i leap from the high wire
into a sea of uncertainty
with eyes closed, a deep breath, and
courage I do not know from where
i make my jump
this jump can cripple me
if i land on hard and bare ground
with no one there to catch me
this jump can save me
if i land on a safety net
which people are holding on all sides
but i need to come down
i have been up there for too long
i have gathered strength
now is the time for that leap
i can hear the applause
people i love come to pat me
on my shoulder
i have made that jump
safe and sound
