Poetry list
on the brink
on the brink
we are always on
the brink
whether we know
it or not
there is a chasm
over which we might topple
into oblivion
or eternity
just like every
breath
of every
life
somehow it’s
not really
mine
I am always
in need
dependent
on the
brink
the unknown
unfathomable
is a friend
a voice
even a touch
others share
it
but they are
not the
One
the brink
who brings
a new dimension
and new life
