I'm standing on the ridge, I'm waiting in the dark
solitude surrounds me, penetrating and stark
the wind whips over the edge, biting cold
stinging me deep, wishing for you to hold
a gentle warmth, firing my soul
a darkness creeps in, as black as coal
shrouding my vision, making me blind
out on this ridge, I know not what I'll find
searching, staring off into limbo
hoping, yearning, feeling the flow
solitude surrounds me, rallying the fight
I shall not waiver, though its a damn cold night

Oh, yes, the edge you describe can be quite cold and biting.....but move back a little, please...this kind of waiting can cause unexpected lurches we must be in a safe place to recieve.

This is touching and telling..Enjoyed.

Warm regards, Pat
