The Edge of the World

7 1 2
                                    

I've finally found it,

The edge of the world,

It is a real treasure,

More than humans should hold.


From this thin, crumbling edge,

I can see outer space.

I can feel the wind whipping

My hair in my face.


It's not like the stories,

Ending in falls,

But dark, gray, and dingy,

Not scarily tall.


Yet as I stand here,

Surrounded by stars,

I know this edge holds beauty

Like nothing on this world of ours.


Finally I turn around

And start to walk away,

Leaving the edge for others to find

On another average day.
