Diving in...

One step away from the light
cold hands hesitantly reaching out

Fingers exposed now
the warmth of its rays shocks my senses
I retract
Pull in...
Hide in my shell -
this comfortable and predictable place of mine.

I'll take a break...
let the shock and adrenaline subside...
and once again
these hands will pull away from this form
and out towards His.

Slowly.

Breathing in...

and out...

and in again...

til I find the courage to just do it...

to jump in

Let the light like a cool rain

Shock my senses til I'm awake again
