With back pressed tight against the wall\nIn constant fear of fatal fall\nI stand here clinging to this ledge\nStrength spent from walking on the edge\n\nThough I should sit down on the ground\nUpon this ledge no rest is found\nThe constant terror of the deep\nConsumes my soul and steals my sleep\n\nJust to the right was level ground\nThe way was smooth and footing sound\nBut still I chose to take this path\nWhich perils fill and dangers hath\n\nExciting winds coaxed me this way\nIt seemed quite safe in light of day\nBut now the light is fading fast\nToday's sunset may be my last\n\nWhy did I choose this path at all?\nKnowing all along that I could fall\nBut having made this wild decision\nI place each step with marked precision\n\nOne slip and it could be my last\nThen like a rod whose line is cast\nInto dark waters far below\nWith no return my soul will go\n\nOh, for a chance my path to change\nAll past decisions rearrange\nThough there's still time my lot to heal\nHere on the edge, I'm standing still\n\n                            by Yvonne Golden<\/em>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
