Paul Riggins
Note: This poem was inspired by the words of my friend, Craig Simpson.
On the edge
We stood on the abyss
We had come full circle
Our beginning
Became our end
It felt like nothingness
There was no reason
We wondered
We discovered
Then we held hands
Then our eyes met
There was no difference
Two had become one
We stood at the gate
Another place beckoned
We jumped
Into the nothingness
Our new reality was waiting
Off the edge
Into the New Normal
