He stood silent,
Emptiness filling him,
Blue, azure
Endless as the sky
The void endless,
Grew as he gazed,
Into the abyss
Clouds swirling wild
His eyes roved,
Raving madly
Roaming, Searching
Craving for a sign
In vain, Lonely
skies ,unmoved
Whistled by,
No cry, no voice
Broke the wind's song
No world stopped
Paused a second long
His chest heaved
Desperate, greedy
But it never could
Satiate his need
His bare feet cold,
Gripped the parapet
Talons, clawing
Footholds in life
With a deep breath
Against every instinct
Forward he stepped
Into skies, brilliant
The world fell away,
Speedily, alone
And all the while
Beckoning lights below aglow
And all the while,
In the distance,
Flickering lights below
Burnt, danced ecstatic
Unaware, ignoring
Life's evil blow,
Life's cruelty and more......
