The Adamant Flint Mind


Certainty is the mind of substance.


Deep rooted reason and amplifying depth of emotion to draw out from. Well-channeled, heaped up for the release.


A brawl with fear in every stage.


This is the mind of a diver who's in a dilemma before leaping off a cliff into the water.


Time and chance, God's mighty hand shall determine the fate of the diver who went all in.


Our life's a series of dives, you gain a sense of confidence and direction with every dive.

In some dives the water's not too kind, but at least the rocks let you live another day by not thrusting through your head.


What have you to lose?

Nothing.

This is a picturesque wordplay portraying a diver, Diving off a cliff.

A Cliff Jump.


The Adamant Flint Mind
// poetry

Take a step
Take 2 towards the edge
Certainty in your stride
Alarmed by the potential reef ledge.

You're in too deep
Diving face down
Flip like never before
Possible destiny is to drown.

Nerves in every stage
Finesse and poised power
Climbing is everyone's game plan,
Mine's freefalling from the tower.

Picturesque words embodied
Words just words in bold
Sun-scorched mid-air dive
At the edge is where most people fold.

A grateful survival prayer
Yes, in every phase of the leap
Frozen moment in time in my book
In here my bookmark I shall keep.
