A Time to Jump

Sometimes in life,
It’s time
For us to jump,
To sacrifice
The security
We have grown
Accustomed to,
Even if we can’t
Initially see
Where we’re
Supposed to land.
We must trust
The parachute
We packed,
As well as
Our instinct
To land on our feet
In cat like fashion,
No matter
What crosswinds
We encounter.
We really don’t have
Much choice in the matter,
For we are determined
To change the circumstances
Of our lives.
The unknown world
Is far more intriguing
Than the world we know,
So we bail out if we can,
And think of it
As an adventure.
