Where Cliffs & Cosmos Meet
I trace the map’s thin roads
That got me here
And see them dwindle, dwindle
Into a path bounded with a bounce of daisies,
The sea in sight.
At the place where my cliff meets the cosmos
I jump into the hands of God
And fly with the crow
To western light bright and healing,
My heart bursts into love.
And falling gently to the sea,
I find myself reborn in
An ocean sparkling with light
Ready to begin anew.
