I stood at the edge of the cliff top
Watching, waiting as life slipped on by, through
My fingertips, as I stood, mesmerized
By the beautiful sunset in the sky

Captured in these times ahead,
The sunlight beams as the sun has wed,
A new dawn is coming, transferring to the new night
That wanders in, bringing with it
A sense of the blues as the warning spotlight gleams
Through the clouds, searching
For me, for my own stupidity

As I gaze at the scene unfolding below
Nobody knows which way I'm meant to go
It could be Death for its incessant taking
It could be me wondering why I'm here, just waiting
It could be Life for its endless ways of nagging
Frustrating choices are afoot, no way of telling
What's kaput, as the wisdom hails in from the West
On a startling new revelation

I blink, thinking that I'm too late in reminding myself
And preparing my fracture mind for humiliation
Too late in preparing for the powers that be to decide
My fate, needless to say should I now just wait?

I step back, realizing that the choice is within me
The power that I had has gone with the rightousness of the sun
Knowing that the worst is yet to come, as the storm
And I become One, melding and aligning as the rain
My fears becoming tears of what's collected over the years
As the rain pelts, one by one, I'm sure in knowing what I've done
Or was about to do, the momentum hits me deep within
An aching heart, but I'm not here to win

I'm here on this Earth to be loved and to love,
To learn about what's sent from the Universe above
A collective consciousness, not to throw away in a game
Of chance, where entitled wits don't stand a lasting thought
Where none of my enemies end up being caught
And where love prevails the sense of injustice, serving
The beauty of Karma in all its reigning heights, bringing
A new beginning a chapter unravelled, I stretch my fingertips
To grasp out right, as they flow through the words that are typed
Which remain golden

I watch as those golden words dance in front with all possibilities in action too,
a sense of hope fills me and my soul anew
Reality has changed from one stance to another, wherein
The spotlight has gone and I run away from the scene and duck
For cover, my wits are with me now, as the storm passes by
Its gone in an instant with a blink of my eye.

I realize now that the storm wasn't on the outside raging on
But it was more in the mindset, within the realms of this verse
Words that will call out to many that hope to be heard
An emotional battle of self-control it would seem that
Not everything is as it stands in your everlasting dreams

This consciousness knows that to be true
And its only you who can rewrite the future as to how you want it, too
Whether that's by setting up boundaries and holding to your close
The friends and family who you hold dear the most
Those that you count as soul family too will always be with you
Through the hard times and good, they won't leave you stranded
As some folk ordinarily would

Its time to end this poem now for good or for the bad,
Think of the times you shared between the happy and the sad
Be glad of the memories made for all within and involved
May the problems that aren't problems feel as though they've been solved
May resolutions be found and solutions solve what's not been solved,
May you find hope and peace, happinness, within the depth of your soul
May you not wonder about what might have gone wrong
May you find inner freedom within the words that belong
