Confidence Jump

We have now reached the end of the road

And the only way onwards is down.

The moon smiles 

Knowingly, feels our

Pulse and is out

For blood.

Bright lights flood the water to expose

Every ripple’s shadow on the light blue

Floor clear as chlorine, calm like an

Invitation for the

Plunge. First jump,

The surface breaks 

Like glass and the

Pool squirms

Against disturbance.

The only way onwards

Is down.
