THE EDGE

I stepped to the edge
The precipice of love
Gazing deep in her eyes
I prepared for the jump…

I hear taunting voices
Call out warnings…

“Look, there is no safety net!”
“No shelter for a storm!”
“No life line tether!”
“Only a thorn-covered stem!”

I stopped for a moment
I smiled and replied…

“Caution in love is untrue!”
“I’ll dance in the rains!”
“Love is a freedom!”
“The flower quells the pains!”

Taking her hand,
I turn to my lover.
Is she ready to chance,
a free fall into forever?

We step…
