Leap of Faith

 
Pulsing waves of energy surge through my body –
I close my eyes, throw caution to the wind,
and leap into the night

A thousand doves catch me in flight
& I’m borne on their gentle wings to my new home,
invisible beyond the horizon

Renegade tears trickle down my cheek
Falling into the darkness,
marking a tenuous trail to the world I leave behind

Yet a seed of strength grows inside my heart
as I resolve to stay the course I’ve set,
transforming & re-creating my broken soul

My journey of ten thousand miles has begun
Abandoned hope is renewed
Just this once, may heaven bless my dream.
