In the Depths

Here I am.
In the place I feared most.

Not ready to jump.
Knowing no other way.

No bottom.
No landing.
No assurance.

My feet move.
Here I go.
Down, down, down.

Far beyond
What exists.

Nothing and everything
Is here.

I am terrified.
I am completely at peace.

There are pieces of me
Everywhere.

A beautiful mess.
A change.
A new beginning.

What is essential?
Life-giving?
Soul-filling?
The rest has to go.
