Edge

Edge

The Edge, 
or rather the Edgewood... 
is a place, not a thing.
It is near the bridge, 
but not quite under it. 

It is quiet, 
and full of only the "sounds", 
that rarely choose to exist.

Bring a tablet, 
a pen, 
a paper, 
a pencil... 
colored markers, 
an eraser... too, if you dare. 
But be ready to take things down, 
as they pass by, 
captured only for their beauty, 
and not disturbed, 
but cherished for their 
existence. 

Come to the Edge, 
and lien out, 
but never step over, 
without your wings.

Intriguing poem, Ann. Allowing one's self to be fully present and observant without disturbing any others that come into our experience. A joy to experience and an excellent presentation through your poetry, my friend. Thanks for sharing with us, Bill
