high rocky cliffs,
razor-edged spires
like spears into the sky,
silhouettes of silence
against the hues of midnight
heights of despair,
where bones have been shattered
on broken dreams,
buffered by winds
that shroud and shelter
bluffs of granite,
scarred deep by life
precipice of pain,
embracing eternity
for those who soar
from its heights of hopelessness

"precipice of pain". Another poem that mixes pain and suffering with beauty, though it's kind of stark.
Enjoyed your write.

thank you so much 'Judith Chandler' - glad you enjoyed this.
I was thinking of suicide - jumping off a cliff....lol....and that pic seemed to suit my thoughts - and thoughts of how many people actually pick a place of beauty (like a tall cliff) to fly off into eternity.....
-

The world itself is too beautiful for that! Keep that in mind.

Lovely write! Keep it up! Best wishes to you!

Those thoughts paint such an image of words
They are deep and meaningful
Yet your talent for nature and its surroundings blend perfectly with fear.
I wish you all the best my friend
always

Wonderful imagery combined here with such honest emotion.
heights of despair,
where bones have been shattered
on broken dreams,
buffered by winds
that shroud and shelter
bluffs of granite,
scarred deep by life
The depth of your words here take my breath away. I was moved greatly by this Sis...thank you for sharing this.

I could almost envision peering down those cliffs, myself...We have a place here, that is similar to this piece. Some have made the jump, some weren't so lucky...Nice write, poet...

I think every area has their spot for 'lovers' leaps' or whatever......sad that we humans get to that point in our lives.

Thank you so much 'David.....' for reading and your lovely comment. I am pleased you liked this.
I was thinking of suicides when I saw these pictures of the cliffs (not personally, just in general)....so, I guess that's where these thoughts came from.
