Decisions

In the shifty space

between the invitation

and the leap,

where possibilities, like magnets,

jostle with invisible forces,

jockeying to make the most appropriate alliances,

we wait.

At some point the field will clear,

the dance of alternate attractions

find resolve,

or not,

and we will stand or dive or tumble

into the decision,

carried on swiftly

in the river of time.
