The harsh winds caressed her cheeks
As she stood there high up
With her heart beating like thunder
And chaos rising through her soul,
And though the streets shimmered-
Like the stars higher up above her,
Her eyes were shadowed, still in darkness
Of her own soul, and misery
And she stood there,
Anxiously awaiting her deliverance,
With no fear taunting her nerves.
And a voice whispered in her ear,
Quiet like the wind, serene, yet biting,
'Just one more step'
And opening her arms wide,
Holding on to her tears, she let go,
And she fell, fell, fell,
For hours through beautiful memories.
And like ocean waves, she now felt the wind
On her scarred skin, resisting her,
And now, for the first time,
She felt weightless, like a feather,
And as her cold face gave away a grin,
The hard concrete earth kissed her tender skin,
And she was gone, like the wind...
