Rescue of Beauty

 

 

Rescue of Beauty

 

Twas Spring it was on Devils Bluff, Natalie took the plunge

Lost in pain and loss of sleep, she wandered to close to the edge

Balance lost, her footing slipped … Falling … Falling… Falling.

To raging waters far below, because of his broken pledge

 

 

 

Natalie roamed the Bluff by night, crying in the night

Calling out his name in vain, but when no answer came

She stumbled off the Bluff, but someone saw her fall

A vision she was, a beauty fair, his heart beat a burning flame

 

 

 

Nathan watched in horror as she fell to the raging waters far below

He dove into the swirling waves, swimming against the tide

Nathan couldn’t allow such beauty to die so young

Breathlessly he fought the waves and soon was at her side

 

 

 

Natalie’s beautiful face submerged in the foaming swells

He pulled her from the water and watched her life force fade

His lips burned hot against hers as he breathed his breath of life

Her eyes fluttered, life returned to her beautiful eyes of jade

 

 

 

Nathan realized this beauty he knew well

Her father was his mentor for oh so years

He remembered her from his childhood

And how he always wiped away her tears

 

 

 

No longer the child he once knew

She had become a woman in full bloom

A delicate rose in his garden of life

Now he had the chance to wash away the gloom

Beautifully written Nancy, describing a the walking of a ledge between heartbreak
and loss of life, slipping into certain doom, rescued by love and saved
by grace, how beauty's life was saved, written with heart and passion.

Quite a story of despair, Nancy, with a wonderfully hopeful ending! Enjoyed, Sharon
