Senses

The Take Off

A distant voice tells me

To jump off the edge

I'm standing on the brink of a truth

So ancient and unknown to me

To fall off this cliff, will the spikes below

not be my end?

And the one who calls me down

What crown does he wear that he can give me orders?

These questions left unanswered

I realize none can answer them

None but myself

My doubts

I push them away

My cares

I cast them aside

My feet

I force them to walk

No, make them run

Have them carry my body

Until there's nothing beneath them

My goal isn't to take flight

But to fall to ground where I'll discover the truth

The truth I'll build up from that ground into the sky

One unlike any other

My truth
