Love Takes A Leap



Some say love takes a leap
A leap of faith
A stride of trust

Standing at the crumbling edge
Clutching the rail of safety
Hanging as if life
Depends upon my hold

I leapt once, tumbling down
The canyon growing taller
Hitting rocks of lies
A sharp cliff of betrayal

Enough tears
To have cried a river
Which only hardens
The final blow

A climb before me
Each step passing
Memories
Some block my path
Others move boulders

From the summit
Much time has passed
Warily gazing across
The all expansive gulf
A chance to rest
Hand on an ever present rail

To say love takes a leap
But to have only fallen
So much more will it take
To erase pain, to trust

So long, holding on
hands tired of safety
But no arms in which
To take the leap and land
