The Edge
By JFarrell
We stand here, on the edge,
What do you want to do?
Turn back and run away?
Take my hand and jump?
I leave the decision to you,
And I will be by your side.
But,
Take a moment….
Close your eyes….
Take a deep breath…
Can you hear it?
The blood rushing through your head?
That is the sound of everything.
Listen to it,
Feel it.
Badoom- whoosh, badoom-whoosh.
It pulses with your heartbeat.
That is the sound of the beginning
And the end
All of eternity
Rushing through your ears.
All that was, is
And is to come
Is in that sound.
Here,
At the edge
What do you want to do?
Take my hand
And choose.
I will never let you go.
