The glowing coals spread on the ground
Like jam across the morning toast
Beckon to me, call out to me,
Invite me like a virgin host
Come walk on me, have no fear
There will be pain, but so much more
Elation, happiness, bliss, and pride
Emotions like you never felt before
They are playing the siren song of life
To follow or not I must decide
Whatever it is I resolve to do
I am exposed, no chance to hide
Knowing it’s up to me and me alone
My heart beats wildly, my lips are dry
I look for guidance, maybe a sign
For what is true, for what’s a lie
The sand is running in my hour glass
But still I cannot make up my mind
Nobody knows what lies around the bend
Thoughts, actions, feelings all intertwined
Fear and hope play a game of catch
I agonize, am in this mire much too deep
Now a full breath, my mind is clear
As at long last I take the leap
