Standing on the brink of despair

perched between

the familiar grounds of a cruel world---

and the dark unknown vastness

of unexplored dangerous lands,

I relish in the warmth of your alluring smile

I trust that when all else fails me,

that is, when my reasoning and values, fail me

you will be able to

bring me back from the edge

and breathe warm life into my surroundings

because however cold and cruel it might be,

this world is the only thing that I have.

I unclutch
Let go
Of the people, places
And circumstances
In my life

I bless them
To fly
In the horizon of their dreams

I return
To my heart
Silence
Peace
At last
