Embracing the Sword

i cautiously step out after evaluating
the challenge ahead

eyes fixed on the
edge of the blade
keeping my balance
concentrating on each step

a quarter of the way
its not as hard as I thought...

but, with each step
the blade is sharper and sharper

revelation hits me
the point is not to make it across
but to fall on the blade and be split in two

-----------------------------------------------

Whoever wants to save his life will lose it,
but whoever loses his life for me will find it.
Matthew 16:25
