To Step From the Edge

________ My spirit 'twine from cliffs high Lightly brushed in graceful desire So subtle this breeze of love imply each poetic word to conspire To soar complete in lasting flight A fortress glisten endless light And now a soul shall live again _________

Rick, I'd like to soar above that beautiful "fortress" as well. I always just come write out and "say" what I'm thinking, but your poetry makes others "feel." That's the mark of a true artist. Best wishes in John's contest, my friend. Love, Carolyn
