I have been standing on the edge my whole life
Wondering if I should take the plunge below
There's not a cloud to be had in the sky
Please let there be a sign so I can know
Do I jump or do I remain standing on the edge
She has a hold of my aching heart and lost soul
Which is why I'm even out here on the ledge
Should I be bold and let my body lose control
Something short of a miracle happens before my eyes
She appears like an angel with such a loving glow
The clouds roll in and it begins to rain as I'm surprised
The answer is right in front of me; just let love flow
Author notes
I saw a friend hosting a quick contest with the above fantastic picture. I didn't reserve a spot, so naturally I didn't get in. I did have mine done before others got to work on theirs(lol). It was just that inspiring. I'm sure anyone could write a poem or story with the above picture for it screams so many things and at so many view points.

First off, love the rhyme scheme of this poem. Secondly, I really like the words you used. Especially the ones I pasted above. Just let love flow; stop standing on the edge; jump in or walk away. Your choice

Chilling is the picture and your words fit it very well. I often wonder when things get this bad what can make a person stop themselves from doing this. Of course many don't. Sad situation when we find ourselves with no one to listen or talk to C
