No need to look down at the ground below
You’ll see it close-up soon enough
Albeit briefly.
Think of yourself as a fledgling
Longing to leave the suffocating confines
Of an overcrowded nest
Yet terrified of the thought of flight
Tonight the sky is clear
No clouds obscuring pin-pricked starlight
And almost close enough to press your face against
Take a moment to relax
Breathe deep
Deeper
Make the next one your last
Lean forward
Let go
Step
Off
