A Skydive life
Straight from the womb of a Cessna
Fight for my first breath
Parachute placenta
Pray if I should face my death
Rip the chord
From my torso
Jerk my mind
Into the light
Whether less
Or maybe more so
In for the ultimate
Flight of my life
Drifting within
The intimate wind
Openly amazed
Making plans
To land just right
Hope to walk away unscathed
Love the skydiving analogy! Such a vivid depiction of living life with a leap of faith through all the excitement and fear! And, I especially love the line towards the end, “Drifting within the intimate wind, openly amazed”. It is a great reminder to find focus and calm, to see the beauty of life clearly through it all, knowing everything will be okay.
I really love the flow of the words and the poignant sentiment of this one. It creates such a vibrant picture in my mind.
