Getting ready to fly!

Getting ready to fly

You stand poised

On the edge

Of what appears to you

Through eyes of newness and little experience

To be a vast chasm

So in some way you need to close your eyes

Feel yourself from deep within

Make the leap

And spread your wings

You will not know

What power they have to carry you

Until you risk

You cannot even trust

Because that is all head work

And a phantom thing

Instead engage muscles

Stand tippy toe

On the precipice

And launch forward

Little bird

Into the next step

Of your becoming

You won’t know you can

Until you ‘do’
