she stands at the edge of a precipice
the wind blowing through her hair
shall she plunge over the edge
take that dare that she will be alright
or falsely believe this is as far
as she was ever meant to go
~~~
come child look to the sky
see the endless expanse
the majesty
the tapestry written
by light and dark
wonder not if the edge is near
for it is the turning point
it is where you find out
just what you are made of
the stuff of dreams or
the flesh of the earth
~~~
carefully she steps back then
without looking
she runs and goes over the edge
into whatever future lay before her
