Jumping. Leaping.
My feet dance wildly
Across sea stained rocks.
Higher. Faster.
The wind blows through my hair
Guiding me towards the top.
Crashing. Spraying.
Below me waves beat a rhythmic
Tune against the shore.
Bending. Twisting.
I reach the edge and look over into
The deep gray waters.
Arcing. Falling.
I jump from the cliff and
Dive into the darkness.
Soaring. Flying.
I sigh and close my eyes.
I
Am
Free.
