The Edge
The Edge
Be this that which is
Thine margin of life
Thine edge of edges.
Consciousness folds inward
That which in life
is but the edge
the border
the surface
Thine thin blue essence of existence
where thine wedge of ocean
meets wedge of shore
I am there
Thine thinness of surface bubbles before the burst
I am there
Thine thinnest of atmospheres
Thine skin of apple
Thine pressing ever forward
ever higher
ever thinner
thinnest of thin
pushing the envelope
I am the edge
I am there
Thine surface where cool breeze caresses my face
Thine moment the rising sun breaks the horizon to meet my eye
Thine instant thine salty breath tingles mine nostrils
I am there
the edge
the special zone
where consciousness is life
