Scared

I’m scared
Hiding behind the wall
Peep hole
Peeking out
Testing the waters
Big toe first
Then feet
Knees bent
Ready to jump
Frozen
You beckon
I’m trying
You take my hand
I let go
You open your arms
I fall into them
I look up
Your eyes seek mine
I look away
You touch my cheek
wipe the tear
mouth to me the words
that I have needed to hear
I dive,
I swim
to the other side.

Very pretty... sometimes, we all need to take that "leap of faith"
