The Cliff

The first day of my life The twinkle in her eye A perfect blemish of cheek My smile in her breath Who is this girl Whose smirk gives me joy Who has me laughing Feels like the breeze As I gaze, my calamity fades My heart pulls and calls Her eyes sparkle with magic Oh no I think I may fall again No, let us not tempt fate To jump off the edge Smashed by rocks This time I will wait As I grab on her train Use it for rope Close my eyes and hope Descend to new possibilities Never afraid Solid earth, obscured Down to the new adventure
