The Edge of My Reason

Two young hearts on the lap of dreamy night Sink merged in silver shimmer of the full moon When from the alien cloud dark shadows alight I reach the edge of my reason. We build nests with parental love and care Children grow ready to face alone every season When they get wings like birds they fly away far I reach the edge of my reason. I stretch out by instinct my humanitarian hand Help those from depth of distress need to be drawn When their ungrateful memory takes harsh stand I reach the edge of my reason. You wonder how the universe evolved so uniquely Where cosmic particles came from for the creation When existence of the creator you defy so wrongly. I reach the edge of my reason.
