Terrace

One last look at the world. One last look at solitude and hunger, on life and love and liberty and hope. Here, everything is below. Everything is shown in its glory, in its fear, in its beauty, in its honest form. There is no final appeal from the terrace -- and so you look away. You are not ready for that sight, but for its touch; reality is there, below, on the shortest path... it takes only a fall.
