The Leap
I'll try
one more time
to fetch where the dreams hide
parting the mist
unveiling peace
beyond this muddled life
But broken wings
write broken lines
and the heart's blood knows
my faithless stare's a mirror
for the dust I'm bound to find
Watching waves
and shoreline surrender
where the wind spites agonies
through a gull's cold eye
they jumped
but I cannot
I was always the last in line
one more time
to fetch where the dreams hide
parting the mist
unveiling peace
beyond this muddled life
But broken wings
write broken lines
and the heart's blood knows
my faithless stare's a mirror
for the dust I'm bound to find
Watching waves
and shoreline surrender
where the wind spites agonies
through a gull's cold eye
they jumped
but I cannot
I was always the last in line

Every city has a suicide bridge, Gracie, but where I live they jump from the cliffs to certain death on the rocks below. Appreciate your visit ~Abra
