on the ledge

rest here, climber 
consider your journey 
don't set a timer 
such ends on a gurney 

faith, you might find it 
looking down on the world 
more likely it's smiling 
in stone lips that curled 

facing the rock 
losing your voice 
creativity unblocked 
founded in choice 

fares that you paid 
wasted wanted not 
theories they fade 
while love cannot rot
