The Seeker !!

Standing tall On the precipice of the silver mountain
he gasped,
as he looked down into the vastness of the spaces below.

One more step forward and the comfort and glory of the zenith would give way to unfathomable oblivion.

unknown
undecipherable
intimidating

But then there was the thrill of the fall which beckoned him to take the leap of faith,
to drown into an existence of limitless possibilities.

And just as he was about to give in to the temptation,

He made the folly of looking back over his shoulders 
just once.

And he flinched.

The reality diffused his spirit of  bravado.

The "loved ones" urged him to retrace his steps and continue to foster in the warmth and protection on offer.
The trophies of his labour flashed, seducing his ego.
And then there were the murmurs  voiced by the "Society"  perpetrating his sanity.

The conflict began.
And as the anxious symphony of the struggle reached a deafening crescendo

A voice echoed,
from the recess of the holiest of all places

calm, 
firm,
pristine .

He listened 
and smiled


And Jumped !!!
