An aching hole left behind

A cavity of space

Between what is and what was

Change is never easy

Uncertainty

brutal and unkind

I laugh at my own hesitation

And do nothing

But wait until my time

More each day

I realize how short

Life is

Fleeting

A run with a stopwatch

Off a cliff

Into the wild blue

Not knowing what waits

We hang on

Until we can’t help

But let go

Then we must spread our wings

And jump
