The Edge - Jim Sullivan

[Lawrence Robinson]

The Edge

Do not challenge the edge
You don’t need to seek it,
The edge, the real edge, comes to you
Beckoning, in its own way

 Maybe you don’t see it
 Already sliding out from under you, 
Or you lost your balance
Or you were pushed

Only goats and the very small
Stand right on the edge
Beyond the margin
Day after day.

That said,
I’ve crossed over many times,
Over, back, and over again
And here is what I’ve learned:

The edge, the real edge, is alive, it moves
It changes
Rock sharp cliff one day, 
Receding, rolling, softening, on the next

	- Jim Sullivan
