today

by Jared Fladeland

i realized today
that i feel most awake
when i ponder what death could be like.

that the ultimate act of faith
is leaping off a cliff knowing you'll survive

that deep inside me
lies the answer.

Indeed. Especially in that second stanza. I really enjoyed this.

Intriguing concept of faith! Presented with a bit of ambiguity!

Love the first two stanzas and I think they could stand without the third, as they seem like the answer to me.
