Descent

I remember
Gazing at the thick grass sloping up the hills around me
I remember
The scent of eucalyptus leaves crushing under my feet
I remember
Touching the sharp rock edges as I clambered up the cliff
I remember
Listening to the breeze blow by in the blue sky
I remember
The thought of “don't jump” wander into my mind when I reach the top
I remember
My stomach rise to my chest as I fall for an eternity to the deep blue water
