One Foot Ready To Fly

Numb is death to sensitive souls
Crying only takes the breath of sorrow
Seek words, wisdom to see beyond
Hold back the avalanche above
The deep dark well below
Stand peering into the black vastness
Wondering, is this the verge of madness
Linger, while vulture’s smile
Waiting for your swan dive into the pit
But no, not yet
Deep within your soul
The planted seed of hope sprouts
That last ounce of control
One foot ready to fly
