There is no
Certainty. . .
That as I dive
It isn't to some death

I stoop my being toward oblivion
Each time
I fold my wings

The surface planes,
Appearing calm,. . .
Assure no future days

Yet, if I lived
On fear alone

How
Would I ever fly

If we lived on fear, not only wouldn't we fly .... we probably would not even take another step! Good write! Chris

Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance.
