I Am On The Edge Of My Own Universe Poem by Shalom Freedman

I AM ON THE EDGE OF MY OWN UNIVERSE

I am on the edge of my own universe
Not going higher
About to fall-
Drawn back into the depths of the depths of the depths
Of my own deadly despair.

I am on the edge of life with others-
One small step across
And I am there -
The wide worlds open before me
The sky all light
Nothing in my way-
And I move freely
From where I am
To where I will be next
Happy in mind
Unable to fall-
