Floating

I looked down the side

Of a cliff

Watching as

Death, my idol

Stared into my face,

From his place in the stars,

Holding out his hand for me to

Shake.

 

“Come closer, girl,

I know you dream of

Meeting me,”

he whispered.

“All you need to do

Is step forward and

Jump.

I’ll catch you.”

The next thing I knew,

I was floating, too,

And like he promised,

He caught me
