Soaring

In the gym

Three others are with me

I say:

“I will try to touch the rim!” 

“Alright!” Shouts one of the kids with me

I stand back 30ish feet from the rim

Readying myself for what was to come

“Just think of it as jumping.”

“Don’t overthink it.”

Says a voice in my head

I start to run

Step 

Step 

Step

JUMP!

Soaring 

Soaring

Soaring

Contact

Falling 

Falling 

Landing 

Running 

In exhilaration

A feeling of purest joy.
