I Jumped
May 2011
I jumped.
Fell off the edge of myself
Into the flowing air of life.
It swirled around me like a slow moving tornado of feathers
Your eyes, in the distance, steady gazing into me
The blueness carrying me out of my worries
Into the betterworld, our world
Not free from pain, but free from loneliness
I jumped into something better
A future with fields of blooming yellow daisies
And honeysuckle kisses
And clear creeks with tadpoles skitting about on slippery rocks
Moss on the trees, beneath our barefeet
The soft green pillows inviting us to a forever picnic
Climbing rocks to see what’s on the top
Of the ledge of life
I am certain white clouds will carry us to the new place
Holding hands, we will jump together
And we will free fall towards our destiny
And land on a hill, and roll together, tumbling down the green grass,
The folds of my dress wrapping around us
Binding us together, forever.
