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
