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”
