Plunge

Continue to walk on the path of life,
restlessness stirs within my soul.
A voice inside whispers, "it's time for a change."
and I follow its guidance till I end up next to a vast ocean.
I walk out onto the dock and at its edge I stand.
Surveying what lies ahead, all I see is endless water.
I ask myself, what am I supposed to do?
only to feel a gentle nudge telling me to dive in and swim.
But... I stammer, I can't see where am I going,
or have the energy to make it to the other side.
God, I am willing,
but I'm just not ready to take this dive right now.
I stand at the edge, trying to build up my courage,
for I want to follow the Call and dive into the deep unknown,
yet fear of the unknown keeps me from jumping right in.
All of a sudden, a strong wind blows and before I know it,
I find myself splashing around in the endless water.
God, I cry out, I'm not ready yet,
and the reply I hear is, "I think you are,
just trust in me and you'll reach the other side."
Building up all the courage I could muster,
I take a deep breath and plunge myself into
The great unknown.
