"Alone on a Cliff" ((December 14th, 2004)) [Alanda McRae]

I fell off a cliff while
I was chasing a lead.
I tried hard to smile,
but I hadn't found what I did need.

I was hanging off a 
loose limb for my life.
I hung there for a day
wishing I had some rope & a knife.

When suddenly someone was there,
saying to hold on, that she'd be back soon.
That someone actually cared
and came back with help at the rising moon.

She threw down a lasso
and into it I went.
How I was able, I don't know,
but my sins did relent. 

The stars looked beautiful as my friends
took me home.
In the end,
I didn't die alone.
