TheBanyanTree: On the brink

[Russ Doden]

On the Brink



I stand on the brink of a vast chasm

Teetering between euphoria and oblivion

Tears fill my eyes over the simple things

Sunsets, rainbows, my cat stretching

Patience wears thin more than it should

Cruelty, ignorance, hatred slash my soul

I want to leap off the edge and fly

But fear I will crash on the rocks below

I know nothing but seem to know much

I see and wish I was blind to the unseen

Then I see beauty – human and nature

Tears of love and joy burst forth

Erasing the fears and frustration

Peace cradles me and offers hope

The next day is a new world

And again I walk to the brink.
