Cliff Diver

Cliff Diver

Wanting to run right off this cliff

And dive in the foam, the rocks and loam

Wrap me up so I will not be alone

This plateau, I have got to let go

Seeing the sun so close falling in the warmth

Of all these jackets to take off

Of all these answers that do not talk

Want to fold this soil over and bury in

Do not want to ever leave

Just grant me this peace

In the arms of these leaves

Rustling and bare

The seeds of tomorrow can grow from this sorrow

I will grant a wish for every part of this

That exhumes the moon for every night

I get to stay here past this cancer’s fight

To take me under and run asunder

My will to be in your life, in your grip

Please take these chains and loosen them

Grant me peace in their release

To burrow in your thoughts and

Find a pause under all these grounds

Of explanation like languages of a foreign nation

You may not understand until I am gone

But this is my cup and you can not drink along

With me at this table, it is mine to dine

And you to laugh at all this time

That has yet to pass
