Author's Note: This lyric poem, entitled: "On the Brink," delves into certain notions and images that I have explored before over the years in other poems I have written that concern death, transformation, transition, the soul, God, Lucifer, prayer, and forms of cosmic symbolism and awareness. Poetry theme categories for this lyric poem include: anxiety, change, death, emotions, god, introspection, and life. I found it very interesting in my development of this poem to include various aspects of imagistic symbolism and metaphors to craft a compelling word picture that I believe captures the essence of what the words "On the Brink" mean in the realm of metaphysical transformation and spiritualism pertaining to mankind's relationship to Almighty God Himself.
