Plunge

[skadragon]

Edit 1:

She stands, all but bare,
watching the ripples across the surface.  
A cool breeze caresses her back,
while the sun's warmth peeks over the fence.  
Reminding her of decisions gone by,
much like the one ahead.  

The plunge would be icy,
until the burn of exhaustion runs rampant through her.
The cost may be worth the satisfaction received.
Can she take the plunge?

I kinda skim read all the other critiques, forgive if this is redundant. This poem left me feeling like there was no resolution. More importantly, I was left feeling there was not much depth. I get where this poem may like to go but, what was her dilemma? I have no idea of her past decisions or what she is truly deciding. No hint is given. I commend you on creating a scene. Albeit a confusing one. I imagined she was standing above a lake or something similar ready to jump in the water. So I was confused how and where a fence would be.

The last three lines of the poem are the only ones I disliked. The former two seem excessively wordy with no real reason to be and the last line felt forced and generic.

(This is my first post in this forum and my first critique of anything in a long time. I'm sorry if it is in any way inappropriate or ineffective.)
