Choosing Your Fall

If a man sees his chance to reach for the stars…
Knows he can reach one.
Knows he will touch that star.
But also knows that he will inevitably fall
Because he cannot hang on forever
Does that stop him?
When the heavens are within your grasp
And failure is as certain as the brief moment..
The glory of all your dreams…
Does fear stop you from reaching out?
Or would the regret of not stretching out to the very edge of your fingertips
Fill you with despair?
