Fear is the highest fence. ~Dudley Nichols
It is the falling that always gets to us
that keeps a person away from the scenic edge
holding tight to the railing for safety
distancing one's feet from the outer ledge.
That feeling of utter loss of control
when there is nothing below our feet
and the uncertainty of the landing
becomes another excuse to surely retreat.
For falling in love is a force that takes us off the beaten path
and if we choose to follow, it takes all the courage we have.
