Taking Chances......

Simply not sitting idle in a mode of waiting.
Watching as everything passes by giving you no notice.
Essences of motion and living blow across your face.
All done in a muted world that you created in fear.

A unknown voice, causing disturbance, whispers in your ear.
With eyes shut, an attempt to shut this all out, you grimace.
Where did playing it safe get taught to your soul?
Who knew you would adapt, making it real like writing in ink.

Shake it off, take a stand and let the world in.
Only you can manage a breakout and use the key to freedom.
A secret mission to enable your heart to feel again.
As if it is your first time in sight, you slowly open your eyes.

Give yourself over to uncertainty and spontaneity.
Longing to feel, longing to be embraced in love.
Safe is too easy, like shutters blocking out the sun.
Tired of sitting in the greyness a chance is what you decide to take.

A life is out there waiting, not bound by definitions.
Full of a robust love, and everything else you deserve.
Why should you shrink back into the corner and cower?
Bust down the walls of doubt and step out into life's meadow.

Wanting, needing, and dread are all overcome by confidence.
The ground beneath your feet is stable and you right yourself.
Walking soon leaves itself to a full out run.
Taking chances is what life is all about.
