Heaven I
.. .
I went down to the edge of time today
I heard the sounds and saw the sights
of eternities dawn
.. .
The cries of lostness and alone
the vision of creatures living
and clinging to the edge of our world
.. .
Clinging with feet grasping tightly
crying with all of heart and voice
flying and shimmering on the edge
.. .
I watched with awe and pain
my senses shocked, my emotions drawn
here on the edge they tremble
.. .
Squabbling, retching, clutching the shortening days
on the edge of eternity
at the beginning of time
.. .
I went down to the edge of experience
and there I felt the agony of creation
Outcasts, refugees, nomads, strangers
.. .
These are the friends off my bitter moments
here they dwell for a season and thrive
for a time on the edge of hope and comfort
.. .
Young life, they grasp and foster
new life they nurture and provide
on the edge, at the end of the world
.. .
I went down to the sea’s border today
and dwelt with the strangeness of life
I caught the sprays fresh hope
.. .
Here on the edge, I sensed the pain of beauty
I enjoyed the laughing of the day
the triumph amidst the greyness
.. .
Yes, I went down to the cliffs today
and caught the air of eternity’s light
on the edge, on the edge
.. .
