The Jump

~The Jump~

 

A man opened his parachute 
higher than the clouds,

and on the way down

he wrote a poem

as he gently swayed.

 

When he reached the ground
he read his poem
to the people gathered,

and it was so rife

with the emptiness of sky,

the people heard nothing,

and found it beautiful.
