The Son Of (Free verse) by malakin
I stand at the edge of the cliffs of wide wonder
My arms outstretched and feeling the rain
As it caresses my fingertips and sends my mind
To far-away places I have never been
And the lightning sears my eyes with a blinding light
That turns my face toward a God I do not know
And who cares little for me.
I hear a footstep behind me and cannot turn
To look and see my Fate has approached and
Would push...
Would push me to the edge of my consciousness
Would push me to limits of this physical world
Would push me from this cliff
And would have me throw myself toward heaven.
I never was one for Fate.
I never cared much for Destiny.
I don't believe we walk on preordained paths.
I will not be Pushed.
I will not be bullied into accepting something
Which is unacceptable.
I will walk away from this cliff
I will walk into myself and away
From the perceptions of others
And I will begin to live
I will begin to live a life of my own design
And I will begin to Live...
as I fall...
