And we were waiting
For something that would never be.
A time and place not real.
The hope kept us from stepping from the edge.
And the wind would howl.
Cold gusts would keep us wake.
The stars would watch from above
And we let ourselves dream.
We would bathe in the sun
And kneel before Nature.
We would ask for her to keep us forever.
And those who kept the forests
Would keep us from being alone.
And we were waiting
For something that would never be.
She felt us leaving.
And the weight was lifted.
The sky was falling
And men fled to the depths.
Waiting for scars to heal.
And hands grasping one another.
And we were waiting
For something that would never be.
A place that we did not deserve.
We chose to step from the edge.
We chose death.
And she thanked us.
