beyond this dead end....

I sat at this dead end
and tried to calculate my risk
but it just wasn't adding up
i was left with two remainders
fearful hesitation
or a blindfolded jump

so i jumped

and as i recall
bundled nerves of fear and excitement
fueled my will to fall
to break down my own stereotypical wall
to embrace the unknown
through the joy
through the pain
through it all

so i floated freely
setting sights
to new heights
a new fight
and new levitation
that drowned
down
the background
sound
with a new song about concentration
that cared less about a location
describing
and defining
a final destination
but rather on the surprises
on the rise as
i released expectation

this was about a new way a thinking

taking the world in
with child-like senses
i took the time
i took it in
and i dropped my defenses
i made peace
i made love
started speakin only in present tenses
i gave it up
i gave it all
forgetting all my prior expenses
as I gazed over these fences
and saw the beauty
that lay just past this dead end

i’m staring now at endless possibilities

shades and shadows of possibilities
lay beyond this dead end
beyond you
beyond me
beyond traditional experience
that provide a false guarantee
beyond perception
beyond rationality
beyond any idea of what it means to be free
beyond this dead end
await surprises of what this world needs me to be
beyond this poem
beyond these words
beyond a life
I have yet to see

beyond this dead end
it’s all just waiting for me…

i'm comin…
