The Plunge

A life of freedom
is found in letting go
and as we realize
we've never been in control
we fall fast into

a place of the unknown
where our dreams meet
the person we are today
and where we want to be
tomorrow

just as we feel the wind
knocked out of our lifeless ego
our restoration begins
and our lives are
forever changed

for we've taken the plunge of faith
the step to a brighter future
with the sacrifice of all that's temporal
comes the rewards of the better life

our broken past leads us to
our pain refines us and creates our purpose
our journey becomes filled with opportunities
to live and breathe with God's limitless power

we cannot change reality
but we can choose life
every moment counts
for we are living the test of our will

the wish for a second chance is hopeful
but the loss of a dream
many missed opportunities
the price of eternity is the greatest risk

when we live from our hearts and in purpose
we have no regrets and our future is certain
when life is as short as fate only knows
why choose to live on the edge of calamity

take the plunge and you will save yourself........
