Upon the Cliff
May 29, 2022
Upon the cliff, I look down
unbound by the burdens below
yet in this freedom, I realize
the horror of being allowed
to leap, to fall, to die,
though I surely never would.
Tomorrow’s sorrow pervades today,
even as the sunset fades fast
to shadows, to shapes, to shades,
painted across a serene summer sky.
Existence, essence, resolution.
Questions without answers.
A world that can only keep turning
and me atop this lonely cliff
caught between the despair and peace
of life’s longevity and death’s cold kiss.
