Jump

It is far away

But it is my destination

I brace myself for it

The collision
My expectation

What will be is unknown

But I must leap

However far it is

I must reach

for the ground.

It is windy out

I am looking down

My hair is ravaged 

By the breath of the sky

Its sigh lifts my heart

My will lifts my feet

I am going now, going down

My aim is the ground.

It is like they said

It is heavy

I can’t help it

The depression

The descent

The rapid decline

I see it now

The ground

upon me

It is here

It is over

I am

Going under

Bracing for impact

Bracing for collision

Awaiting rock bottom

Sure destruction

What always would be
What suddenly shall

Here it is…

Nothing now

Nothing

Nothing

Where is it

Where is the crash, the smash, the blood, the guts

The heart, the soul, the dreams covered in dust

I never landed

I simply took off

Unable to feel my own flight

My own rise

Clouded

No ground, no landing

I took off and then

Flew forever

To places I’ve never been

I can never be

It’s just imagined

just contrived

I did fall
after all

I don't feel
I am gone

No flesh rises

This is not me at all

I can hear people crying

Wailing aloud

I look down

There it is now

The rose-coloured ground
