Leap of Faith It’s standing on the edge peering over amazed at the idea of being bold It’s taking a chance, grabbing for the brass that rings clear in your heart It’s laughing hard in adversity’s face, imagining a light in the dark It’s going against odds believing the dream taking the chance every day It’s listening to faith’s voice there, in your dream, taking its hand indulging ~ the love of the leap. This...for the men behind the adventure of the Global Flyer... This...for all of those who take the perspective of doing it for themselves... This...for every poet who knows. Karilea - if I whisper, will you listen? Keeping in mind, I must stand close...and keep my promises... |

I think I know... If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

this... for the poets who read with their hearts first, before their minds engage  |

This was BEAUTIFUL, Sunshine!!  I loved it!! The leap of faith is some thing I think I am starting to REALLY get the hang of over the past few years of my life. In fact, getting ready to make another one here really soon...I will be keeping this one!!!  Hugs to you! -- Becka  The miracle is you're here, |

Such wisdom from a grand lady and poetess who certainly knows the feel of the leap as well. Bravo to them...and to her, for all she gives us. |

Been a while since I've taken that old leap. Sometimes we find ourselves too afraid! Hope all is well with you, Karilea. Corinne |

"the love of the leap", indeed.. "Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings, Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth Of sun-split clouds -" ( John Gillespie Magee Jr.-excerpt- "High Flight") "This...for every poet who knows." Every poet slips the "surly bonds of earth" each time we pick up a pen... as you have proven by this poem. enjoyed ____________ice ><> |

It's the only way to grow. Nicely done, and I like the construction and the images. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |
