A night at a cliff

On a cliff I stood alone
A night so dark, with no place to call home
The wind it howled, like a mournful sigh
As I gazed out, at the darkened sky


The stars above they twinkled bright
But brought no comfort, to my troubled night
The world below, it seemed so far away
As I stood there, with nothing to say


The cliff’s edge, it beckoned me near
A precipice, where tears and fears appear 
I felt so lost, with no direction to take
A night on the cliff, with my heart at sake


The darkness closed, like a shroud around 
As I whispered low, a sorrowful sound 
The night on the cliff, it took it’s toll
Leaving me shattered, with a heart that’s cold.

Beautifully penned, though melancholic. Here’s the epilogue ~ “and then came the glow, hope ushered by dawn, wherein joy in full flow, soul’s innate vibrance was reborn”
