"Take a running leap!" they saidThe cliff was sheer and tall-
the other side of the pass was not far away.
an abyss of clouds distorted the space between.
I watched them run and leap and stumble,
then turn to me with bloodied knees
and smile at how green it was.
I looked past my edge
and wondered at their foolish energetic ways
The other side was an easy stride away,
I need not use such force and drive.
scoffing at their sweaty, happy faces-
I took a calm, cool step.
I felt the firm, smooth soil of the father edge.
I felt it as it crumbled,
the thinnest outstreatched bit.
and as I fell they reached for me
Concern for one they once stood with-
But I hadn't tried enough.
What do you think that was about? I would like to know what people's thoughts are on it. For a frame of reference, I just wrote it now, it's not an old one I dug up.
