When I look up to the sky now,
It looks different to me.
I have a new understanding
Of how expansive life can be.
I’ve lived mostly in a bubble,
Quiet in my world
Until bit by bit
It began to unfurl.
Today it blew wide open
When I jumped in tandem
The universe at once
Seemed both connected and random.
I was completely at ease
Until it came time to fly
A moment of mind numbing fear,
And then we were a part of the sky.
I shut my eyes at first
As my body and stomach turned
Once we levelled out
I knew what I was there to learn.
Believe in yourself,
Live with arms open wide.
Trust yourself,
Let your heart be your guide.
Put faith in others
That show up in your day
Embrace flight
When it comes your way.
If you feel inspired
To do something new
Just seize the moment
And fall into the blue.
