Poem: Leap of Faith by Wendy L. Brown



Leap of Faith

Standing before a fork
in the road
there is not a right answer

or truth cast in stone, there are
choices and plans and desire,

there is the heart of fire and
twist of fate,
there is the unveiling

of who you are and who you
are becoming.

This I have found after
bargaining with my hopes

and my destiny. There is only
a still quiet voice within

that tells me trust what you
know and then surrender,

leap if you must, let your wings
unfurl, let your angels play catch.

We drink dreams from a
sliver of moon.

The dragonfly nymph doesn't know what's going to happen when it suddenly gets a ridiculous urge to climb up out of the water. It only knows that it must.

This poem is still cycling through my consciousness.....I lept because I had to, my wings....didn't unfurl very well....but my angels were there to play catch. Thank you angels!!! If not for my angels I think I might be in free fall still.
