The Edge

Stop.
At the frontiers
of your mind.
Make a U-turn.
Walk to the edge
that you so want
to walk away from, and
too afraid to peer from
into the dark abyss beyond.
When you've reached the edge,
there is no turning back.
The only way forward
is to take that one step
that's still keeping you there
on the edge,
and drop down willingly
into your flowing heart -
the chisel that works
the hardest of rocks
over time,
with its gentle flow;
soothing the senses
standing on end,
at the edge
of humanity.
Meet yourself
beyond the edge.
