The night dive

My circle of light hits a feather star
Recoiling from the beam.
Above the world sleeps
Thick blackness flows around us.
My breath
The only sound
Six lights
But I’m alone
Thoughts run unchecked
Self-doubt wriggles through my brain.
The sliver of reason pierces the darkness
Words of training stand between me and the abyss.

I am glad the parachute opened unless you blogged in anticipation!…….
