The Edge of the World

I've found the edge of the world
Right in my backyard.
I have heard the journeys of others to its brink
And learned of their fall to the world beyond.

Yet I have often imagined this scene,
I never imagined I would find it here so soon.
Right where I live, I find it;
The sharp end of the world.

I haven't dared look over the rim.
I'm not afraid,

But I wouldn't go alone.

Monochrome

White innocence blankets the earth's green glory

Locking all in a monochromatic life
Beauty lies in colors;

Fresh flowers
Sunsets
Fallen Foliage

Save your purity pallid snow
I defy your neutral existence

For as long as I have vision,

I will use your blankness as a canvas for my dreams.
And when you slowly melt away

My dreams will lie below;

Fresh flowers
Sunsets
Fallen Foliage

A reverie made reality.
I will dance in my world of color
Until you wash the earth clean once more with white.

Then I begin again.
