Push your own limits
wonder
what it is to dive off
Into the unknown nothing
the abyss
To plummet screaming
Gagging with panic
And then
End of tether
The shock the jerk the sudden end?
Then…
The quick double-take
The instant, lightning rise
back into grace
shooting up,
the triumph.
Growth here is boundless
Limited only by fear.
Welcome to challenge.
Challenge is fun
The impulse to take on the impossible dream
To dare to think
baulk at your own audacity
brave derision
fight fears
resolve to try
to gird up
to climb
explore, delve, question
And so, to learn anew every day
create new science
Grow even more.
