Precipice Precipice, precipice Some whispered word rings eerily Standing here in rapid winds Craggy, this rock’s face a'fore me Precipice, precipice I face the fears inside my soul; This cliff dares me the climb With living on my only goal Precipice, precipice Mountain’s crag finds finger’s hold And still the whisper in my mind As if a bell’s been tolled If I fall, the abyss swallows The sheerest drop, my future known Suddenly a metamorphosis Into my soul a light is shone… Prince of Peace, Prince of Peace How fine the line so broken From the precipice of unknown The Prince of Peace has spoken Where once I stood the precipice Now Love gives the Prince of Peace ~*~ ©Karilea Rilling Jungel 13 March 2002 |

To coing a phrase...hauntingly beautiful... We all have stood on this precipice at one point in our lives...Can we hang on?? Or...shall we fall... |

Gee Karilea...I kept looking at the word 'Precipice' and my palms got all sweaty...I'm afraid of heights! LOL. Seriously this is very well done and gives one food for thought.... can we indeed hang on? ~Hugs, Nancy~ ~Somewhere in my heart I'm always |

 (sigh) Oh Karilea, this is sooooooo beautiful, I feel as though I am currently standing on the precipice of my life, for there is so much I dream for like getting to meet the girl of my dreams and I am so anxious about what fate will bring me! (kiss on cheek) This is very powerful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karilea, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Kari darling sister of my heart, NOW this is utterly utterly outstanding writing. Sooooooo beautifully written and the ending is superb. Sometimes the sun comes out when you least expect it darling heart, and this shows it beautifully   Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |

If I fall, the abyss swallows The sheerest drop, my future known Suddenly a metamorphosis Into my soul a light is shone… Awesome Sunshine!!! Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

In every word, you find a poem... and paint the picture so vividly I'm dizzy from the heights. *S* Beautiful work, Sunshine. |
