The Edge
Once again, after a long time, he found himself standing there. At that exact same place in space and in time. How many times had he stood here before? He doesn’t want to think about it but he knows that it was more than he had wanted it ever to be. At times he loved it there. At others he hated it. Yet there was something about standing right on the edge of that cliff that never failed to take him by surprise, almost as if he was transported there by some divine mechanism…!
So there he was once again, wondering if this time he should jump over the edge and be united with his destiny. What was it till today that had kept him from jumping over the precipice? Why does he still stand here at this same spot and not take the step? What is it that stops him from claiming what should be his and only his? A question that lingers on in his mind while he gazes at the deliverance waiting for him down below. She looks at him with her beautiful eyes urging him to dive from the skies. She tell him with those eyes that she will be there to hold him in her arms and will always keep him from pain. She tells him that love is there for him...forever...waiting just for his asking. Yet he ponders over it. Can he believe that he will finally have this gift? That he can finally have the love he always craved for? Will she really be there for him...always?
The scars of the past refuse to heal so quickly. Her touch is like a soothing medicine. He knows that her love will heal him in time but can he let go of the apprehension? What if…? Accustomed to the uncertainties and pain that have always been his to take, he wonders if he can survive another wound to his soul?
Slowly, very slowly, he moves ahead. One step at a time he literally crawls forward. He knows that in spite of all the pain and misery that he has lived with till now, he cannot let this moment pass. This one moment that he has waited for what seems like an eternity has finally come in front of him. So with fear still in his heart he jumps…almost floating through the air…he falls…he can feel the world rushing past him and then! There she was…! As he lay there in her arms…he could not take his eyes off of that face. The face of an angel…she who had come to rescue him from all the sorrow that he had been blessed with. As she smiled at him, he could feel her love flowing into his body through those beautiful eyes. It gave him a strength that he had never felt before. Her love healed his very soul and slowly their lips united. A moment that was for no one but them to cherish. A moment that he had longed for all his life…and finally found. With her he felt a like a new man. A man who had finally found hope…and a will to survive. Her love was all that he had wanted and finally found…
