I’ve always leaped
Off the cliffs
In my life
Plunging head first
Into the waters below

Often too late
I would discover
Hidden beneath
The shimmering, alluring Surface
Cold and shallow water
Where danger awaited

My scarred body
And soul
Bare testimony
Of a reckless youth
Unguided, without wisdom

Fate, however proved kinder
For one day
I leaped into
The healing waters
Where Christ abides
And in His depths
My wounds were healed
My spirit restored.
