On Cliff Drive I consider 

The possibility 

Of launching myself 

Off of one 

I am taunted by

The edge  

“Time for a peek peek peek,”

I think.

I am greeted 

By a cloudless sky

The mountain side

Hugs my tepid soul

I meet the fence and

A gentleman 

We observe the tide

Together, and then we know

They chose today

The dolphins

Are in the waves

I graze graze graze

my hand

o’er the aqua sheet of silk

There I am

Sunlight gleams

Gleams gleams gleams 

on me

I’m certain of the reflection

In my rusty iris

Clad in crystals

I transcend to the shimmer

Breaching

I am there 

In the middle of the sea. 

Suddenly, I am grateful.
