• Ella
    Walking on a ragged path
    Ella peers over the edge
    a sheer drop, a long climb
    Ella knows it's coming.
    The hands she was holding have their own cliffs to face.
    She knows she must go it alone.
    Ella braces her heart.
    She says goodbye but not forever.
    Breathes in deep, hands unclenched,
    As she climbs up to embrace the sun.
