Finding yourself lost
standing on the edge of time
some cliff faces you
no center step in sight
only the far horizon calling
where you see the light
but cringe at the darkness
that separates you from
the things you love
trembling on the bluff
the ground nearby sluffs off
into the canyon deep
you hear it fall in cascades
and back away
as it warns you to stay
but you drink your poison instead
swallowing your fear you hesitate
serving your hellish time waiting
for the green light to shine
though knowing full well
the keys you need are in hand
only wondering if you'll find them
as you fall into the abyss
you have worried into being
but nothing blocks your path
other than love of life that binds you
blinds you and makes you human
the whole person you are
breathing out some sighing pattern
that somehow delights you to watch
this life you love walk by
as you preen your golden wings
until you finally fly
