There I stood, on the edge of the cliff
high and windy, it laughed in my face
the waves roared at my faith
and the winds blew it away
the butterflies overcame me
and just when I thought I was steady,
my feet slipped out from under me
As I grabbed at the air I fell into dark waters,
the Light growing smaller
and smaller
the surface smacked me in the face
and the waves ripped at my body,
fighting for me, for my life
deep under the water
I reached for the surface
the Light, so far away...
yet it seemed to ever so vaguely
be calling my name
my heart was racing, and time, I was losing
the darkness thrashed, and I lost my focus
the fear was back, and it pulled me deeper
and deeper...

until I hit the surface and screamed for the Light,
kicking and gasping for air
the Light was brighter now
and smiled in my determination
my Faith grew larger, as the waves
grew smaller
screaming and reaching, choking on my efforts
the Light got closer, and the waters were calm
I looked up to the Light, only to see a Hand,
pulling me out of the black waters
not looking back, not even once,
I walked forward in the Light and the Warmth,
the Love was overtaking me now
but this time, I let myself drown
