Standing nearby

wondering about the walk

a concrete path

overlooking angry seas.

I want to walk across

unsure, unsettling fear,

I don’t know if I’ll ever recall

what stood before my crossing

an ocean

a spectacular horizon.

Can I glance at you

if only for a moment,

to see whether there might be solace

a place to land

still again

after falling.
