Leap

I have taken the leap of faith to the wrong side

opposite of where those who have been waiting to catch me

into those who had already left me.

Not only does it hurt to have my trust betrayed

but knowing that I have betrayed the trust of those who believed me

has left a piece of burning ice in my soft spot.

It hurts. It’s searing. It cut through.

Still,

Thank you for this valuable lesson.

Thank you for believing in me.

Thank you for carrying on.

Thunderstorm

Electric shriek rips through the air

As a lightening bolt streams through grey clouds covering in waves the vast sky

Slapping the eardrums of the dumfounded,

Awakes, inspires, and awes the new eyes

Breathing a vision, a belief, it’s now clear

That it’s a leap of faith,

To ride on the lightening bolt.
