Dreadfully afraid

Deer in a spot light.

Thats how I feel.

I don't think I've been this honest in a while.

Then again, it takes either a fool or a brave man to attempt to catch the wind.

I've discovered those things are not mutually exclusive.

Don't get me wrong.

I'm ecstatic, I can't stop smiling, I can't stop breaking into song.

But is this how Icarus felt?

Imagery.

A young boy throwing stones into a river.

A nervous soldier hefts a thin rapier, and waits for the mob.

A kite flutters in a breeze, a gale, a storm.

Yet I would have it no other way.

Perhaps better this, then to be that king in his castle.

For in this moment, I learn to soar.
