"One Heroic Act" Inspired by Forever Phoebe

One Heroic Act

A flash.
A moment.
No time to think.

Disaster
is coming.
We’re on the brink.

I freeze,
you jump,
we hope for the best.

Eyes closed,
we land.
I’m curled on your chest.

Are we safe?
Is it over?
Fear keeps me still.

Eyes open,
I’m saved.
With joy, my heart fills.

Though at risk,
you acted
and kept me from harm.

I hope
this act

isn’t all of your charm.
