Perched on a cliff <br />Her lifetime runs like a movie <br />before her eyes <br />Time is not defined <br />She loses track <br />Sun greets moon <br />Still she remains <br />motionless <br />Under a canopy of stars <br />Jack Frost bites <br />She shivers <br />Tears as cold as ice <br />run in rivulets <br />As dawn appears <br />She can't decide <br />how her story will end <br />She feels the damp grass <br />beneath her <br />Reality dawns <br />as little birds chirp <br />in welcome to a brand new day <br />She decides... <br />She will not waste it!<br /><br />Marie Shine<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/out-on-a-limb-4/
