Seven Seconds

• Artist: Vafrous Coyote
• Description: When you embark on a new journey, you're always hesitant. The new, the unexpected, usually doesn't hold much promise in Average Joe, whose comforts stem from the stability and the peace of everyday life. But sometimes, trying something new doesn't fail as miserably as you'd think. Sometimes, the new experiences make you a better person.

Tentatively,
Hesitantly.
I remained anchored
On steady ground
On steady, boring ground.
What left is there
In lands already traversed?
With a deep breath
But without confidence
I plunge forward.

Seven.

I give myself to the wind.
I wonder to myself
I worry
I ponder,
Unsure of myself.
Did I do the right thing?
I gulp
But I keep my eyes open.
Wide open.

Six.

The exhilaration,
The thrills,
The lingering doubt.
My eyes begin to water
But I keep them open.
I want to see through
The whole ride,
The entire experience.

Five.

There is no looking back.
No looking back
To the life I left behind.
Onwards I go,
Always progressing forwards.
Onwards I go,
Seeking peace.

Four.

The wind in my face
The gust, blowing
My hair, billowing backwards.
Time flies by
But the world
Stands perfectly still.

Three.

There is a smile on my face.
I know where I am going.
I let myself go.
I soar onwards,
My fate without a doubt.

Two.

My fate is sealed.
There is only one direction
That my life can go.
I plunge forward.

One.

I close my eyes.
Now I know what it truly means
To fly.
