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
