Day 67

Cliffs
Edges
Naked, on a command from yourself
When facing nature
Aging on the waves of a raging surface

Swallows inherit your pride
In the last breath of air
Going into your body
Seconds before you throw yourself out
To face the choices that you’ve made

Another voice silenced
Kept alive
By the edges and challenges
Writing another cliff on your palms

Remember why your are alive
Every day your palms change
The surface will carry your name

A new reason
Spoken in sign language
Every day

You stay

  1. Love the line “swallows inherit your pride” and the couplet, “Seconds before you throw yourself out
    To face the choices that you’ve made” I am very visual so I appreciated the painted word picture…

  2. You’re a brave one. A 365 challenge and I have danced, but he stepped on my toes around day 180 or so. Clumsy bastard. 🙂

    1. I need it, in able to keep sane I need to write every day

  3. This was great. Talk about a challenge. I was afraid to take one on, but you’re doing great
