3rd in the 'Watch Out! 2000' competition

Run hide seek to find
To clarify this confusion in my mind
I balance from high above
Plunged from my precious perch
I fall reach out search
My body battered shattered thoughts scattered
This frozen river of rocks and stones
Moves me through this wisdom I must gain
Where are your family friend
Through my darkness a voice does call
With words of comfort I am brought ashore
Familiar faces all around
I know it is myself I have found
Silence peace light
Awake
