THE EDGE POEM


I have no doubt  
that an edge  
has plenty of clout  

sometimes I confuse an edge  
with being on edge  

a rock star  
of a favorite band  
has made it his name  

while so many had used it  
for ending their lives  

& fearful I become  
when there's an edge  
in view  

at the end  

of a long journey uphill  

as I'm eager to know  

if I'll find  
on the other side  

treacherous gorge  

or a valley  

of sublime beauty.
