In search of our destiny. [image: pixabay]

On the Edge of Eternity I will sing the praises of love and joy and living, of dreaming dreams down to the place where a new epoch begins; where time stands still and all that ever was becomes a new transformation. We are all as children marveling at persons, places, and chances to explore our potential, to engage in sights and sounds and wonders that help to shape our next moment. Let us rejoice and thank our lucky stars for the time allotted us to live love and to be thankful for our time together in this grand awakening and perhaps during a coming time interval of grander design. Perhaps we can only find our potential when galaxies are formed and new beginnings erupt and reshape the whole design of what is and what can be. The essence of who we are is still a mystery shrouded by an enigma and kept in storage propelled by dark energy. Only by change can we ever fulfill our ultimate destiny and proclaim with certitude that we are the true explorers ready for the next journey.

Yes, in spite of those that are trying to drag us back into the dark ages of medieval thinking, the Internet has transformed us in ways we have yet to comprehend.

AI is also another transformational experience that will make the 21st century profoundly different from the industrial, economic and very destructive 20th century.

The meek will inherit the Earth, not the strong. Right will overcome wrong. And we will embark on goals as high as your universal enlightenment expressed in dark energy and the essence of life.

The way you look at the cosmos in this fine poem evokes in the reader a sense of gratitude, an awareness that we stand at the threshold of something larger than ourselves. I especially like how you weave the innocence of discovery with the vastness of galaxies and dark energy, reminding us that our destiny is always unfolding just like the rest of the universe surrounding us. The poem none other than a gentle call to embrace change and continue the journey with a sense of wonder.

Eloquently spoken, Ed. We are indeed
"...all as children marveling at persons,
places, and chances to explore
our potential, to engage in sights and
sounds and wonders that help to
shape our next moment."

Nicely framed and crafted. Prosaically, a 'keeper."

Your poem reminded me of one of my favorite instrumental works, Setting Sail on Distant Horizons. I found a sense of adventure in your verses that resonated with me. Thank you for that!
