Jump life like there are no parachutes

chances not taken, caught up in mundane way of life, yearning to feel liberated ? if this sounds like you ? It's time to, Jump-life-like-there-are-no-parachutes

How often do you search in your mirror,

for that ever eluding smile,

the one, as wide as a mile ?

How often do you look for your freedom,

of swinging by the air,

and to breathe like you don't care ?

How often do you miss gazing at the stars,

in the eerie silence all while night,

and wake up to the sunshine, merry bright ?

How often do you reminisce the memories,

of playing with your old childhood toys,

and those little million joys ?

How often do you aspire to break free,

rid yourself off the baggage of why,

and fly among those eagles soaring sky high ?

I do, I do.

Everyday.

So,

I, me and myself are in cahoots

to jump life,

like there are no parachutes...

You know reminded me a little of one of my poems. I am sure you know which one I am talking about. As far as I see this one, you are definitely talking to yourself, whether that mirror was there or not. How will you know what life could be if you never live it or experience it. Risks are always a part of life. Gotta go for what lies beyond those risks. Could be things which might end up leading you to the inner peace and life you would have wanted. ^^ I like the title a lot as well, that's what dragged me here ^^ Thanks for sharing ^^

[Abhilash Hegde]

I'm glad the title of the write, dragged you here. That's the very essence of the write.
I couldn't agree more on the thoughts of your's here. I just want to say, no matter what, go experience life, go experience yourself and along the way, some point in time, it will all add up, dots will connect :)

it pays to take risks in life but it's not easy to leave your comfort zone.
beautiful, Abhilash. I wish I could follow your example. a little late at my age, I'm afraid.

[Abhilash Hegde]

I wish I could always follow it, but I do try.. :)
However, this poem I wrote to goad myself in a direction to discover myself, try out things, feel liberated and just do whatever makes me happy!
Thanks woody !

It seems you've used the mirror to give yourself a talking to over deeds undone or perhaps chances not taken. If it convinces you to venture forth into life like jumping without a parachute, then the method must work. The worst thing would be to stand and stare, doing nothing.

[Abhilash Hegde]

That's very true. I did some talking to myself here :)
I agree, worst thing would be to do nothing, indeed...
What is life, if we don't risk it ? How 'll we ever know what's on the other side, if we didn't take our chances at life. I believe in this mantra, resolutely.
Thanks for dropping by, Sam. Glad to know your views on this write.
