Leap before you look

I share Val's caution about making a fool of myself commenting poetry.. but here goes.

I think Leap before you look says that no matter who you are or which sex there are always situations where you have to take a risk, where outcomes and dangers cannot be properly evaluated in advance and that that's life, but also I think he is saying that even while taking the leap you should remain cautious of the dangers surrounding where you might land..??
