Sitting on the edge of the world
I sit on the edge of the world
Dipping my toes into a void of ambiguity
There is quiet respite from the loquacious earth I hail from
I sit here immured in my mind's captivity
Thinking about what I could do
What I have done
What I haven't
I skip a rock into these unknown waters
It sinks with grace and ease
Making it seem virtually effortless to enter this abyss
Maybe if I had the anatomy of a rock I could do the same
I could be liberated
I look out to the illuminating bodies of gas that surround me
Then back down to where the pebble sank
I let my whole calf and knee feel the sweet, pristine waters beneath
Feeling like Wordsworth in his tranquil forest
I am lost completely to the oblivion that surrounds me
My find soars across the blooming night sky like a humming bird
Tasting all the sweet flowers that are light years away from each other
This distance is nothing to me
I am in my own Peter Pan adventure
Soaring through the sky
No worries
I slow down as I see the most magnificent array of colored light
Colors un imagined by an unaffected human eye
As my velocity slows my mind catches up
This is impossible I say to myself
But maybe I am just an aberration of nature an anomaly
This won't hold
So I get back out of the waters
I know they are no more than a standard dreamer's folly
So I tiptoe back to earth
It is like I never left
