Cliffhanger

As I stand on the edge of the place that
Holds all the memories, past, present and maybe even future.
I peer down to see the rocks gasping for air
As the rapid waves commence, and the storm rages on.
I sense my feet gliding off the rock and my whole body collapses.
As though I’m in a dream, I’m falling.
I feel the wind howling, like it's alive.
Like it's trying to save me.
I feel all the grief hit me in one big wave as my body is falling
In the beauty of the world, as I come crashing down in the deep
Depths of the unknown.
If anything happens to this place I’ll always remember it.
How it was this way, so I tell the next generation and they all believe
I’ll tell them bit by bit, so everything I say is a cliffhanger.
