The Fall

Walking near the canyon, right out near the edge.
your eyes off in the distance you step off of the ledge.
you're living in the moment as your body takes the dive.
free falling is your future, for now, you are alive.
The moments swiftly fleeting, the ground is growing near.
You know you won't remember the last sound that you hear.
And now you're almost there, that last and final drop.
It's not the fall that kills you it's that sudden stop.
