Precipice
by Robert Wynne
© 2003

Standing on the edge
of the precipice
with the full expanse of nothing
stretching below
and the wind swirling about your head
the choice between taking
one more step forward
surrendering all to the rush of air
and the void beneath
or finally backing away
and seeking solid ground on which to stand
becomes as clear
as a vast and cloudless sky
on a warm June afternoon
