She stood on the edge
Swaying with the wind
Her voice a gentle sigh
She took one step forward
She took one step back
Hovering near the cliff
Her hesitating steps
So gentle at first
Soon grew confident
She came here she knew
For a single purpose
She came to dance
Her body twirled
Her arms and legs
In graceful harmony
She spun and she flew
Her hair wild
The world disappeared
As she danced
It steadily got harder
The steps complicated
She grew dizzy
Her feet faltered
Her body slowed
She looked down
At the feet that betrayed her
The energy had left her.
Maybe she wasn't free
Maybe she couldn't fly
Her dreams were just dreams
Legs dangling over the edge
As wishful as the wind
The girl let out a sigh
