Poem: Edge

Before me I see a vast openness
Never have I been
Here before
I feel nervous

I stand on the edge of
Something wonderful
But yet, still I am afraid
To jump right in

There is no net on the bottom to
Catch me if I fail
But there never is when
Love is involved

I step one foot over the edge
To fall to you
Hoping you will catch me
One more step to go

Closing my eyes
Blind trust is what I have
Faith that you will be there
Belief in us

I fall from the edge
I descend down
Into this new arena
Hoping I have not made a mistake

I feel great and
Totally secure knowing
That you will not let me fall

I look up and the edge is
No where in sight
I am closer to you
I can see you face

Your arms are open
Wide to catch me
To pick me up
And give me strength

I have made that final leap
What a feeling
Complete feeling of trust
Of the one you love
