Threshold
I am standing on a precipice
Of a cliff overlooking
An infinite chasm.
I have been on this threshold
My entire life
A coign of vantage.
It is the finite point
Where fantasy meets reality
Hate to love, pain to pleasure,
Chaos to order, life to death.
I do not know
On which side of the chasm
I belong.
I do not seem to belong to either
And I fear
That any decision will ultimately
Be wrong.
Mortal frailties cling to me as
Cobwebs to their prey.
Do I relinquish myself to the
Freedom of the chasm,
Fall back toward the security
And constraints
Of solid terrain?
For if I remain here on the
Threshold I am Neither,
A weak illusion crumbling
Beneath the weight of my own
Indecision, precarious balance.
I did not seek to be master
Of my own fate,
Too great for me to bear
Then another factor is
Thrown into the equation
By a greater Knowledge.
The balance of the entire
Universe shifts and I am
No longer stranded on
The threshold,
I am at the beginning of
Everything I have
Ever dreamed.
Indecision, uncertainty,
Cast aside, outgrown, irrelevant.
It is crystal clear
My raison d??tre lies not beyond
The chasm nor upon the
Threshold?s point.
Crystal clear, destiny, immortality.
Discovering how to fly,
Purity beyond comprehension,
No longer finite,
A tear in the universe.
Illusion crumbles and it is only
I, not greater, i
A barren cliff, a fragile mind,
Delusions of the damned,
The threshold is within.
