What Do I Have Now?

on the topmost of the mountain
higher than all the rocks beside me
what do i have?

clouds on my feet
air that cannot speak me its message
where it comes from
what are the warnings
or the good news?

i stand here
my arms opening to the sky
i do not look down
for fear of the height that is
sucking me down
inviting me to jump
like the goddess with
a broken heart

what do i have here?
i gaze
and all i have is this view
of the sun finally
going down
to surrender once more
to what is dark
and cold
and silent
