The Impact

THE IMPACT
by Ray Li


A choice of the moment.
A choice between the elevator or the stairs.
A choice between the clock or the time.
A choice of the safety, or the truth.
A choice between eloquence or honesty.
A choice between turning back, or speaking out.
A choice in the midst of a burning house.
A choice of being the hero versus a hero.
A choice between the courage of fear, or the courage to fear.
A choice in the thousand years of a second.
A choice of the will and the last lap.
A choice at the edge of a forgotten bridge,
where the road has cracked and the fog peeks a gaping ravine—
the other side still blurred.

A choice to jump.
