Leap of Faith
Standing at the edge of the abyss,
Not knowing whether or not
To take that final leap.
It is impossible to see
If this would be a Leap of Faith,
Which would make Kierkegaard proud.
Or would it turn out to be
A swan dive into a hole
Any boob could perform.
Suddenly, it comes to me,
Like a vision from on high,
The form of the Buddha beckons.
Therefore, my soul filled with strength,
I take my leap of faith,
Only to discover at the very bottom:
There is nothing there
Except the broken bones of all
My brethren half-wits.
