Chasing Clear Water

Out of body experiance (Or mind)

Standing here on the edge
of a precipice
looking down at broken rocks
water never touched

What has my life become
but an ongoing search for a rainbows end
dreams without schemes
plans with little chance

A handful of fairweather friends
that drifted
quickly
when I needed a hand

Clouds rolled in dark and dim
icy needles rained down
piercing my skin
oh those winds blew but what could I do

Where could a man turn where could he look
to seek the peace he wanted so much
standing before him
on steep mountain top

An angel
a woman adorned
with incandescent hair
and eyes of clear water beckoning me there

I took the step
held out my hand
no ground beneath me
but she held my hand

I love the whole flow throughout this poem! IT makes readers forgot all the things around and just deeply absorb by your poem! Amazing job! Also, I love the ending most! Its just so simple, so beautiful! The imagery is great as well!
powerful and strong, amazing job!

enchanting... your imagery is fantastic, the last verse is inspired...
how funny, the part about the precipice is like a part in my poem "life condition", which is like a poem by Selene, where I got my inspiration from! The cycles on WC still amaze me :)

a beautiful poem.

Very good description and story leading me to a very good ending. I sleep little now. Dreams are hard to find. The description of the angel was amazing. A excellent poem. Thank you.
