I find myself somewhere new
Somewhere ancient and hazy
A liminal space between life and death
I am standing at the rim of the Great Ravine
A temple in its own right
Sheer stone cliffs burn fiery red
Stars shine between cracks in the rock walls
Illuminating memories, emotions, and loved ones
The pictures of my life play out below my feet
Floating in space like heavy fog off of water
Is this where we go to meet god?
Is he somewhere here?
Watching
Waiting
For my spirit to come and dissolve into his?
I stare
Deep into the Canyon of Time
A river runs, immortal
Black ink stark against clay rich earth
A dragon’s winding path
Scales reflecting crimson
Is this the Lethe?
If I jumped would it catch me?
Could I lose myself in its bright, sparkling darkness?
Legs dangling over the edge of the world
I feel restless
Opportunity itches under my skin
A small leap of faith is all it would take
One step forward
A shift in my weight
And I wonder
What would happen next?
