Leap of Faith

Whoever would have thought I could write a poem about a night of fun on a trampoline.

For Mark and Nelena.

Perspective is changed

from the upside down

tumbling, spinning

nothing seems the same.

We strive for normal,

feet firmly planted

yet we power as high

as we think we can go.

We launch our bodies

towards the heavens

around we go, head over heels

only to fall back down.

We land softly on the springy form

and catch our breath,

amazed at what we saw

when we took our leap of faith.
