The Great Leap
Paralyzed.
Not by fear,
but by pause.
A breath caught.
A step withheld before the dawn.
What is this weight?
This waking sleep?
The path ahead daunts.
But this is not the hour for doubt.
This is the hour for rally.
The Hail Mary.
The deep breath.
Straighten the spine.
Square the shoulders.
Leap.
Fear is a dead weight.
It cannot grasp ambition.
Only hope has hands.
Only light has strength.
Only fortitude completes the mission.
