Time to dance

Standing on a precipice
ready to jump
or fall into
unknowing.
Does the leaf willingly jump
or is it pushed?
Does the rain willingly fall
or is it encouraged on its way?

The leaf prepares itself
by dressing in its most gorgeous
autumn colours,
waiting for its time
to dance.
Does it jump or fall?
It lets go.

The rain prepares itself
by filling the cloud with fullness
until its bursts forth
in a joyous dance
of letting go.

I prepare myself
with hours of meditation,
of practising being free,
being one
until the time comes
when I

stand on a precipice
ready to jump
or fall into
unknowing.

Letting go.
