I’ve been standing on the cliff for some time now

It’s beautiful

A tall brown ledge overlooking the sea

Up until now I’ve been afraid to look down

It’s like a picture on Zillow

I have a perfect view of the billows

The water’s gotta be cold

Where I stand is lukewarm

Maybe the water is perfect

I feel torn

How will I know

Unless I get down there to surf it

Will it engulf me

The brown cliff is cozy

Time to get my proverbial ducks in a row

No more thinking about it

Here I go

I leap then splash

And from the water I look up at the cliff

The water’s almost hot and I like it

In the aftermath, I don’t feel as stiff

And the sea is beautiful, it is a life raft

I float on my back fully immersed, listening to the gulls’ musical
