Plunge

[Jezie]

Okay so a few weeks of walking away and back and still...
Edit 3:

She stands, all but bare,
her backyard and pool her sanctuary.
A cool breeze caresses her back,
watching the ripples cross the surface.
As dawn's first warmth peeks from the fence.
Reminding her of decisions gone by,
much like the one ahead.

The plunge is icy,
the discomforts of a hard change.
The burn of exhaustion will ease the strains.
Her toes on the edge, the sun on her back,
questioning how choices and courage stack.
Recompense for deception her only call.


I feel like I am going in the wrong direction with these edits and it is becoming a mess...

A cool breeze caresses her back,
dawn's warmth peeks over the fence,
watching the ripples cross the surface.
Reminding her of decisions gone by,
much like the one ahead.

The plunge would be icy,
the discomforts of a hard change,
until the burn of exhaustion eases the strains,
Yet, the cost may be worth the satisfaction;
if only she is willing to deceive.

The cost may be worth the satisfaction received.
Can she take the plunge?
