The Edge.

That a powerful word, what an amazing consent.

The edge..

The moment before the fall.

that couple of inches before life and death. before something different.

Before discovering the answer to mankind's greatest question.. is there a life after you get pushed over.

Is there something to look forward to as you fall, a light in the tunnel?

The edge... is the barrier and bridge between worlds.

Time and space, all fall to the power of the edge..

The amount of power in those few inches is god like.

It gives me the itch.. like when I'm on the roof and its high up, but not that high up.. and i just get this itch to jump.. to see if i was right.. to see if i wouldn't brake anything.. to prove others wrong, and to prove myself right..

But i don't scratch it, because the edge is to much for me..

I cant conquer it...

Only the fools challenge a God. Only fools try to answer the question early.
