Leap of Faith

A sigh-

A glance-

Out a window,

Into the vast unknown.

Heavy eyelids
Fall to the floor,
and what is more;
the world was yours.

They wrote in history-
of runaway wars-
and deadly roads.
But the railroad tracks lead far away,

Meant for tired feet

and souls astray.

A glance

out a window

into the railroad tracks;

far past highway signs.

And what is more

The world was yours.

Could have been-

Should have been-

Yours alone.

A sigh,
A glance,
All you can spare

To fly,

You dream,

But never have the faith to leave.
