Springing The Board Nov 6, 2009 12:35 am

You spring the board the water down below
and briefly now you're up above it all
but as you rise there's something that you know:
a thing goes up that thing has need to fall.

You've played this out in every way you could
a play rehearsed upon the given stage
the angle wrong as well a wall of wood
that surface pierced you've chosen to engage.

Your safety net's the measure of the mind
adroit at things for weighing consequence
the future then a thing that you've designed
by studies made and use of common sense.

You spring the board with confidence and cool
the pool of life a splash – your kind of pool.

-Richard
