She Found Herself Upon the Cliff

She stands alone upon the precipice Reflecting, pondering the lowering sun Realizing life’s lack of justice And how hers has come undone With unclear thought, on a whim She had come to end it all As all the blame, because of him She pushed, closer to a fall When, through the clouds, a ray of light Like a hand, set to embrace She felt warmth, upon this night As it fell upon her face Into the light, she gazed in awe Her mind, it then came clear From her life, she’d not withdraw And hold each day so dear Decisions made are hers alone Her life, her actions taken This she learned through light unknown That life shan’t be forsaken It was not he that made her choose It was will and all she gave But now she selects not to lose And her life, to now save So, now alone upon the cliff She smiles, as strength comes through For now her life was given lift And hopes within, renewed She steps then back, further away The edge was drawn from sight She cannot wait until break of day And to each new glorious night

If only more would get that inner sight before they jumped...most do not and my heart breaks for them. Too sad. Glad your lady had a happy ending. :) Love Kristin
