At the Edge

Cool winds
whipping by
    chill the bones
An unheard of, an unlooked for
idea
     has come and 
gone
      at the edge
of a precipice
  sits the 
answer to our
questions
    this is the 
real game   
    the time for
the new dawn
      has finally come
Yet there are
still obstacles
    to be overcome
Let the vivid 
lights
      move into
our imagination
Before the end
     comes
  we'll 
       know
that the 
     phantasmagoric
         truths we 
seek
    are ours for the taking
 the lights are 
fading - fading rapidly
now
     tomorrow will
come
    and with it
the chance to grasp
the ultimate reality
and move into new horizons
