Standing on the mountain top with my eagle-spread arms,

I’m breathing in the silence, dreading for the others to catch up and freak out.

Lacking fear of heights seems to be

Entertaining only for myself,

Not my climbing companions.

“Crazy?!?” I hear them out of breath, trying to pull me off the

Edge. “You think I can fly?” - “Not today, not in front of me, crazy!”

Author’s note: inspired by Rachel Deeming’s Stillness acrostic.
