The Plunge
Letting go of all supports,
my balance perfect,
I raise my arms
in a salute to the heavens
and push off,
forming a graceful arc
as I dive headlong into the Mysteries.
What ecstasy as I break the surface,
silken blackness streaming over me,
welcoming me
in this trajectory
toward the bottomless depths
of the Absolute.
Down, down, down
further than seems possible,
beyond all barrier,
beyond consciousness,
disappearing into silence.
There is no place I would rather be,
no golden beaches calling me,
here in the stillness of eternity
I am home-
a star in the night sky
whispering to you
that it is safe,
you will not be hurt
if you dare to let go.
Take the plunge.
