She Found Herself Upon the Cliff

She stands alone upon the precipice

Reflecting, pondering the lowering sun

Realizing life’s lack of justice

And how hers has come undone

With unclear thought, on a whim

She had come to end it all

As all the blame, because of him

She pushed, closer to her fall

When, through the clouds, a ray of light

Like a hand, set to embrace

She felt warmth, upon this night

As it fell upon her now lit face

Into the light, she gazed in awe

Her mind, it then came clear

From her life, she’d not withdraw

And hold each day so dear

Decisions made are hers alone

Her life, her actions taken

This she learned through light unknown

That life shan’t be forsaken

It was not he that made her choose

It was will and all she gave

But now she selects not to lose

And her life, she chooses now to save

So, now alone upon the cliff

She smiles, as strength comes through

For now her life was given lift

And hopes within, renewed

She steps then back, further away

The edge was drawn from sight

She cannot wait until break of day

And to each new glorious night
