Just Jump

the freedom that comes from that leap
down the canyon, into the water
terrifying, freeing, huge
just jump

it's almost as if you were always meant to do it
letting go of everything
all that extra crap, that pulled you down
just jump

shedding the backpacks, the water bottles
the extra jackets and vests
equipment meant for past lives
just jump

leave behind even the snacks and meals
previously thought to be important
the water holds all you need
just jump

the journey to the edge is long
takes mental courage and clarity
concentration and time
but then-- you can just jump
