This poem is full of metaphors. I am not advising anyone to find the nearest cliff and jump off and I am not condoning suicide in any form.

This poem is simply full of imagery that has a deeper meaning. This is about a young girl too conflicted to know what she wants but she listens to her heart rather than her mind or other people and figures out what she wants to do. Cause and effect. Question and answer. Situation and resolution.

P.S. Of course this is is about Mimiru.

Symphony of Souls

The girl stands on a cliff

The wind against her back

Sending light brown hair

Whipping against her face.

Below her

A symphony of souls heard

In the crash of wave against rock

Sibilant half whispers

Detected by a trained ear.

Most of the voices

Urge her to jump

Others to take a chance.

A few tell her to stay.

Eventually swayed,

The girl closes her eyes

And takes the plunge.

As she falls

Her green eyes open

She shouts something

That is lost to the wind.

A pair of wings sprout

From the center of her back

Spreading to break her fall.

She hovers momentarily

Blessing those voices

Who urged her on..

Then the girl who had

The courage to admit love

Glided away.
