R.P. Coursey - jump with me

Standing on the edge
Of the cliff
Looking down at Rough River Lake
From 30 ft up…

Clear the mind
Look up at the sky-

And jump







Hold your breath
On the way down
Because you never know
When you’ll hit
The water’s surface-

You penetrate and
feel the shock
of the cold water-

Never quite enough air-

Which way is up?

How long will it take
to breathe air again?

Relax
And float
To the surface-

Look up at the cliff
And watch me


jump
