The weak breeze whispers nothing - The water screams sublime

His feet shift, teeter-totter - Deep breath, stand back, it’s time

Toes untouch the overpass - Soon he’s water bound

Eyes locked shut but peek to see - The view from halfway down

A little wind, a summer sun - A river rich and regal

A flood of fond endorphins - Brings a calm that knows no equal

You’re flying now - You see things much more clear than from the ground

It’s all okay, it would be - Were you not now halfway down

Thrash to break from gravity - What now could slow the drop

All I’d give for toes to touch - The safety back at top

But this is it, the deed is done - Silence drowns the sound

Before I leaped I should’ve seen

The view from halfway down

I really should’ve thought about

The view from halfway down

I wish I could’ve known about

The view from halfway down
