THE CLIFF

The Cliff

The Gardens were Green

Some Forests Brown

Some Fields Golden

And a Cliff...

Drapes the colour of our fears

Fears......Being a thin air

To a muddling Darkness

Dug up in us

Through Skin, flesh and Bones

To the earthly light in us

Greatest souls dived the cliff

Through eternity of darkness

Through twinkling hopes

Through last steps of regret

Ah! The cliff- A secret Keeper

Secrets of the fall

Nor the traveler knows

Nor the last stepper into it.
