Vision Verse Poems - I Leap With Abandon

I LEAP WITH ABANDON

In the midst of a moment of longing and strife
I open my spirit to the heart of life
Bidding fond farewell to the same old same
I leap with abandon into the game

I cast off this cloak of black hesitation
Release this chain of suspended animation
Feeling a freedom I’ve not known for years
As if shedding a skin made of so many tears

I cast my gaze across the procession
Of moments wasted in pointless obsession
Gathering things which in turn gather dust
And following rules engraved in rust

I sweep them away with a wave of my hand
Till my soul is naked, and there I stand
With my heart ablaze in a cleansing fire
That opens the door to my deepest desire

In a moment of silence my vision clears
And I glimpse myself untouched by fears
What I thought was me is revealed at the core
To be so much brighter and so much more

I discover the me that is limitless
Alive with a passion I must express
I dance in this vision and run to its call
I shout from the mountains and sing to them all

I leap for whimsical wandering clouds
Laughing so freely the echo resounds
Like the rumble of chariots and thunderous steeds
In a stampede of joy on the path of my dreams

The robes of life’s royalty flap in the breeze
The curtains open like blossoming trees
The spotlight glows incredibly bright
From the darkness offstage I step into the light
