LIVING ON THE EDGE


Beyond the edge of the world,

Where endless space is unfurled,

Overlapping of substance and emptiness,

Searching quintessence in nothingness.


Unsettled, life seems an arabesque puzzle,

Forced to dance in chao's endless drizzle,

Floating in brain weaved hallucinations,

Forever drifting and no sight of destination.


Sleepwalking blindfolded on cliff's edge,

I expect God to dangle from the ledge,

A safetynet, from tripping down the abyss

I live in that fool's paradise of bliss.


Heart and mind are in constant tiff,

Lead by heart, I take a leap from the cliff,

Living on edge I do not feel edgy,

It is the edge that produced prodigies
