Poem 999 – Just Before

The calm before the storm.
I’m taking a deep breath,
Gathering my thoughts,
And feeding on my nerves,
Preparing to take the plunge,
The chance to turn has gone,
It’s time to build momentum
And take a running JUMP!

I made it to my assembly early this morning, and had a few minutes to scribble these few lines.
