To blindly fall

If i were to fall,
i would have no trust in someone to catch me.
I take this leap off the edge not into darkness
but into a light.
A light like I have never seen before.
It seeps its way into my very being.
It knows how to guide me back onto the edge after I have jumped.
Even with my eyes sewn shut,
no binds or stitches will blind me
for this light is bright enough to shine through.
I follow it without knowing its intent only to be lead into harm,
into the reach of danger,
into tragedy.
Yet I still follow because it also leads me to love,
to a side of me that I didnt know existed,
to friends who I may have never met on my own.

I blindly follow this light.
I have complete faith in this unknown.
I would not call it god but it is a being of greater power than I will ever know.

It is hope.
This light is the true form of hope.
