High Dive

My stomach is communing with my toes

My legs - boiled noodles having no will to support

I force one foot up

then the other.

I hold fiercely to the hand rails

as I climb slowly.

The voices of my fear screech their warnings,

"Don't go! Don't go!"

Pushing my fear behind me, I step onto the board.

It quivers alive - mirroring my quaking legs.

I struggle cautiously to the end;

Cementing my feet, I lean precariously forward

and peer into the depths below.

The twinkling eyes of the ripples catch my frightened stare;

The crystalline nymphs implore me,

"Just fall forward! Stretch out your fingers. We will catch you!"

I almost believe leaning ever nearer

Then - fear grabs me.

"Don't do it! It's too far!"

The voices do battle;

I'm caught in between!

Suddenly a new voice enters the fray.

"If you're gonna jump, jump! You're holding up the line!"

I turn, aware that several bodies block my escape.

I look to the right and see my friends beckoning far beneath me.

I lock my fear away,

Place my arms over my head

and fall forward.

My fingers slice the surface

I plunge into the quiet depths

Hearing the whispers around me

"You did it! You did it!"

I emerge - smiling -

The nymphs victorious

Fear slinks away.

I leave the pool and walk back with gained confidence to where my journey began.
