On the Edge
On the edge
A smart butterfly,
on the edge it stands,
the water is blurry,
should it jump or fly?
Why the rush to dive?
Tarsus could slip,
It could be damned,
It could die.
The edge is safer
the view is further
the scape is familiar
Should it live or try?
Too late for me
deep I am in
it is too good to quit
Loose or win,
romantic I’ll die.
I Will not regret?
