The leap, uncertain | MPOLEMETTINEN

The city sleeps, a million dreams in silent flight, unfurled. I trace the lines of what could be, against a fractured world. A vacant space beside me, a whisper in the midnight air, A fractal truth, a future that I haven't dared to share. I feel a phantom pull, an echo through the endless, empty space, A longing touch, a yearning for an unseen time and place. And every road I walk, it feels like half a path I see, A destination forming, just beyond the reach of me. The compass spins, the stars they burn, a silent, cosmic plea. Oh, time will tell how we find each other, Across the chasm, through the storm and tether! But in my heart, a tremor, a truth I cannot hide, I'm afraid of the leap, into the great unknown tide! Will the currents catch us? Will the sky hold us true? This monumental falling, into endless, vibrant blue. I've built these walls so carefully, brick by weathered brick and stone, To guard the fragile workings of a heart that learned to roam. The ghosts of chances missed still haunt the corners of my mind, A fear of losing gravity, and leaving all I'd built behind. And in the quiet moments, when the world begins to fade, I sense a beckoning, a promise softly, subtly made. And every road I walk, it feels like half a path I see, A destination forming, just beyond the reach of me. The compass spins, the stars they burn, a silent, cosmic plea. Oh, time will tell how we find each other, Across the chasm, through the storm and tether! But in my heart, a tremor, a truth I cannot hide, I'm afraid of the leap, into the great unknown tide! Will the currents catch us? Will the sky hold us true? This monumental falling, into endless, vibrant blue! What if the bridge is burning? What if there's no solid ground What if the silence swallows every single desperate sound? But what if... what if this fear... is the only wall left standing? And you are the horizon, forever expanding! My soul aches for the freefall, the weightless, wild release! To shed this careful armor, and find a moment's peace. OH, TIME WILL TELL HOW WE FIND EACH OTHER! ACROSS THE CHASM, THROUGH THE STORM AND TETHER! BUT IN MY HEART, A TREMOR, A TRUTH I CANNOT HIDE! I'M AFRAID OF THE LEAP... INTO THE GREAT UNKNOWN TIDE! WILL THE CURRENTS CATCH US? WILL THE SKY HOLD US TRUE?! THIS MONUMENTAL FALLING, INTO ENDLESS, VIBRANT BLUE! Time... will tell... The unknown... it waits... My leap... Our leap... Will we fall... or will we fly...? [END]
