Excellent Free verse...Sharing an 'almost home' esperience. 2004 The Edge of Forever by RobertaLee

I fell down at the rift   that separates     eternity from the now... Reached out both hands   to receive the gift. It shimmered through my grasping fingers   a quicksilver reflection      of all that has been...    All that rested there with me   all that some day soon would be       But not, for me         Today.   Earthbound by pain,   my cry     was, "Why!" And as my eyes returned to me The exquisite togetherness I'd felt   slipped     from my memory... Beyond my clutch   beyond my reach Eternity once more    a yet to be.      Author Notes This world is not my home, and I have met the edge several times in my sojourn here. This is a memory from one of them.
