My Tryst

I

Dared to dream :

The world below, Self above,

I

Stood at the edge :

Free fall craving, To let go unable,

I

Stumbled and grumbled :

The void overpowering, The deadly mist surrounding,

I

Heard a cacophony of voices : 

Drowning out the urges, Breaking through the trance,

I

Felt the adrenaline gushing

Drenched in sweat, The heart pounding,

I

Walked away :

The cliff receding, The valley approaching,

I 

Watched in awe :

Shaking in mirth, The soul burst free...
