Ledge of light

Wind on the edge, twenty stories high
Two shadows lean, same scar in their eyes
One says “Abraham,” the other “Joe”
Both hear the dragon, both feel the glow
Voices like knives, carving out peace
“Jump,” they whisper, “let the quiet release”

But the sun cracks open—gold through the haze
A mother’s voice calls from yesterday’s maze
“I left for your grace,” she hums in the light
No goodbye, just wings folded tight

We drop to our knees, retina burn
Tears turn to laughter, cold hearts overturn
Hug like brothers, no ledge left to claim
Two heartbeats echo—one name, one flame
Mom’s in the brightness, we’re safe in the roar
Suicide’s silence? Nah—we’re not done anymore

Phoenix flares up, dragon coils low
“Kill her,” he bargains, “let the quiet grow”
I scream back at fire—“Stay out of my skull!”
Three days to decide, but I’m done being full
Of your deals, your thrones, your blood-soaked crown
I walk down the stairs—echoes fall down

(Strings swell, tempo slows—almost a heartbeat)
Floor after floor, like a dream that won’t end
Voices fade soft, but the warmth won’t bend
I hear her again—not in rage, not in flame
Just a lullaby hum, calling my name

We drop to our knees, but we rise in the glow
Two strangers, one mother, one truth we both know
No jump, no banish—just coffee and talk
Laughter on rooftops, no more midnight walk
I’m Abraham still, but the dragon’s asleep
Phoenix waits patient—I’ll call when I need

So if you’re on a ledge, and the voices get loud
Look for the light—it’s not up, it’s around
She never left.
We just forgot how to hear.
