April 24, 2015 life
Once, I climbed a tree
and, balanced
on a tiny platform,
I froze in fear.
Then, eyes closed,
blindly trusting,
I inched forward,
and jumped.
I fell, unseeing,
and something
caught me.
Safe,
I let myself sink
into relief,
and failure.
Knowing
what I know now,
would I try again?
YES!
