Adrift

With a murmuring breath, the edge becomes smooth,
the ledge not as high, much wider than you thought,
your feet become still, your trembling hands rest,
your eyes see new things that have been there before.
Your mind starts to drift on a raft in a sea,
smooth as those edges, a sigh of release…

  4. It is amazing at times when what seemed so narrow becomes wider when we perceive no threat and don't fear the letting go of the narrow view. The horizon is so far off when we look to it rather than to the ground beneath our toes.

  8. Nice to find that you don't have to stand on the ledge but can be adrift on water that buoys you up. Take care, Shadow.
