I fall
with reckless abandon
like a river’s waterfall, plummeting
without inhibition into the unknown.
There is beauty in bravery
and power in the savage plunge
where I am met with life’s river
once again, still part of it all,
just wilder, more free, powerful.

This image shows a waterfall falling from an opening in the rocky mountain, and is collecting in a basin before spilling down the mountainside. There is bridge connecting the two parts of the mountain in front of the fall.
