old into the new

I leaped

jumped

over the edge

my body

free falls

to the

ground below

doubt

explodes

what have I done?

fear

electrifies

every cell

in my body

will I survive?

confusion

clouds

why did I

take the

chance?

faster

nearer

the ground

approaches

I brace myself

for impact

and

surrender

to the

fall

I look up

the old me

reaches

a hand

to

save me

to

pull me

back to

the safety

of the

old

the comfort

of the

known

doubt

dissipates

confusion

clears

fear

subsides

I land softly

gently

on the

ground

below

my feet

secure

my body

whole

my eyes

open

to all the

possibilities

I walk

into my

new
