The Sharp End of Reality



At the edge of reality where
It happens on the ledge out there
To be albeit improbably
I see the possibility
To look or leap but to look before
If so to know what to look for
When after all I fall like a star

But all the way is not too far
For rising from surprisingly when
What goes down comes around again
Forever is for now when I see
I am the possibility

As ever now or never is how
Between the heartbeat and the breath
Of what it means between life and death
What comes to be becomes somehow
Happening as I happen to be
As it is happening to me
Out on the ledge at the edge of now

The sharp end of reality
But I am the possibility

This makes me think that if an asteroid hits us, we'd have no time to "look before" at all. Anyhow, I found this poem to be very thought provoking.

Love ya!
