The wild Impalas

The wild impalas leap 

ten foot in the air and cover 

ten yards in one jump,

their graceful shadows

tell the sun

of an unchained spirit

Yet in the zoo impalas,

kept within low fences 

will not risk a jump 

if they cannot see 

where they will land, 

so they remain captive.

We also cling to certainty,

fingers gripping tight,

we need to hear “Trust the way.

Let faith be your guide.”

For the future is not a map,

but a journey of steps unmeasured—

a heaven crafted from hope;

a dance choreographed in light.

A leap in faith,

scarred hearts unarmed,

letting go of fears

and trust the unseen path,

for what awaits

may be greater than 

we dare to dream.
