the edge of a cliff

Have you ever stood at the edge of a cliff?
Full moon behind you
blue light surrounding you
and the deep warm water below

just jump

you watch the water ebb and flow
the swirls and whirls
there are dark places,
but those aren't as scary as they once were

you know the water is warm and inviting
comforting and carressing
peaceful and promising

just jump

you feel the moon above
surrounding you
pulling you
reminding you of all that is holding you back

the pain
the fear
the empty promises and broken trusts

just jump

you know all that is possible in the water
you know it is a risk
a gamble
that it just might hurt

but somewhere - deep in the darkest corners
where the moon's light just doesn't quite reach
you see hope
you see light
and just maybe......love

and you jump
