The Edge

I stand on the edge,
My future lies below.

My parachute is ready
I am prepared now to go.

I look behind me,
The past waves and winks.

The future waits in front of me,
Offering future high jinks.

The past is known and comfortable,
The future is fuzzy and new.

Here goes, I take a breath.
I close my eyes and take a step.
