I heard the wild thunders as they approached my territory . I felt your thirst for my blood in the air we call used to call home . I listened out for your remorsefulness in the way you ran against peace.
Silently I stood there waiting for the tides to turn in my favor . Silently I stood there with my mouth open waiting to join your pack. Silently I stood there waiting for your voice to pull me into your winds .
Blamelessly I stood on the cliff holding on to my dying flowers . Blamelessly I stood on the cliff holding on the roaring currents . Blamelessly I stood on the cliff only to descend to grave sites that I know not of .
But don't agonize over me because I got used to the fall, to the cold, to the anguish. Above everything else I bloomed before you even noticed. So be sure you're not afraid when I rise above thunders and roaring currents .
I AM A CLIFF SURVIVOR I know how these things work ..........
A dedication to the cliff survivor who exists in all of us
