She sits above the roots of
the tree of life
precariously perched on the
precipice of time as naked as
the day is born and
just as kind.
Then a wisely wind whispers
to the tree that it’s time to
let her go for, she’s
ready now to forge her
way into the wide
unknown
And whatsmore…..
she knows.
She can hear that same
whisper in the air
The one calling her on that says
‘All of life is waiting for you if
you only did but dare.’
Her hair blows wild then as
the wind offers a little assistance
and ‘tho she’s hesitant to take
the plunge she’ll offer no
resistance to natures
natural nudge.
Yes, her life awaits
she’s really come of age
the world is at her feet
and a rainbow sets
the stage.
The planets are all there
she feels their ancient pull
why settle for the Earth
when she can have
them too.
So you see it is her time
the universe awaits
she knows that she can
fly
now comes her
Leap of Faith.

What an enchanting write, Bren, and the image is beautiful.
The unknown is always scary and I guess we take many leaps of faith in our life. You wrote such a beautiful story about how one might feel before taking a leap of faith which is always a great event.
Thanks so much for playing in this weeks TT, looking forward to next weeks posting.
God bless.
We dare to live despite our unknowing…life awaits and we can’t sit still…
nice piece for an awesome pic, love the pic, real cool! 🙂
Awesome and wonderful. I had not read this before.
Thank you for sharing. Very moving.

What an amazing, graceful piece, DD. Naked as the day she was born – and aren’t we all, underneath it all? There is a poignancy to this poem and a hopefulness, despite her hesitation. Hope the dive is glorious for her! Peace, Amy

haunting imagery there,
breath taking as a matter of fact.
Thanks for the entertainment.
Sounds like she has it all figured out. I can’t say I scoff at a flying naked women out and about, well okay maybe some..haha…yes many can fly if only they’d try.
life is risk…it is these small (large) leaps that allow us to experience it to the full…i hope she jumps cause that is what comes before we fly…
This is absolutely glorious! Oh, those leaps of faith – they take courage, but they bring joy!
Read this many times with tears in my eyes … then I discovered that I do have wings … thank you … love you much, cat.
