I speak the poem in this video. Enjoy!
Will the world catch you when you fall? Trust is empty without risk, What if I’m missed? Will I slip through the cracks, wandering far off the one-way track? Maybe that’s the point, if Life were to have one at all Sometimes you rise, others you fall Free diving, wind brushing my skin Stomach churns, waiting for gravity to drop me a pin Would it be a chance if you did not take, it has been said the Mystery never forsakes It’s time to live with heart and spine, tears shed, light Divine Right way, left way, middle way, it’s a choice to keep the hungry ghosts at bay Retreating from my destiny, as if fate could get the best of me I say get me while I’m down, they’ll look confused when I turn it around Nothing to something, how has it been done? He lets life happen, and shapes things as they come His hand isn’t dipped in too early He knows his place in this part of the journey Softening pulses run through his veins, his lack of effort is no victim to shame While pressures build, his movement is stilled A sword melts into worlds unknown, full of potential, grafted by stone.
