Closing

A brief moment in a woman's life.

On a cliff far, far away, i watched him jump. It was a beautiful sight to see. The grace of

his arms, legs, stomach... the exquisite arch of his back. I let him go then. I let him

breathe. And as he dived through the pale blue sky of the twilight hour, I cried. "Walk

away," my soul urged. "Walk away now!" But i couldn't. My legs were frozen. My muscles

tense, and driven into the core of the earth. In rippled glory, the mirrored spell was

broken. I turned my gaze upon the heavens to watch the stars begin their brilliant dance.

The warm summer breeze soothed my soul as i began my walk back to.... back to life.
