Released!

It's misty  -  it's cold
And it's damp.
It's windy  - - it's dark
And it's wild.
I'm tired  - I'm lonely
And I'm scared!
 
Shhh!  Listen  - the sound
Of the waves
Softly caressing
The foot of these rocks.
Stood here on tiptoes
I recall hurtful things said!!
 
Edge Of The World  -
Lost moment in time  -
Decision is made now!
I'm meeting
My Maker  -
Totally prepared!
 
Moment of truth now  -
One step and I'm gone!
Tomorrow
They will find me
Released from my sorry  -
Quite dead!
 
This sky and this Ocean,
This mist and this wind,
Will sign with such pleasure
Knowing  -
I gave myself to them
Out of love and not dread!
