Jump

She stands alone
On top of the cliff
Her eyes are closed
Her face is still
Her hands are clenched
Into two balled fists
She looks down at the ground below.

She breathes in
and out
and looks around
there's no one here
to stop her fall.
She could just trip
and try to fly
and take off into the world.

She listens to the wind- it cries:
fly with me
I'll take you home.
Her arms outstreched
Her fingers fanned
Tilted up to the universe
She screams aloud, grows her wings

and jumps.
