The Edge of Forever

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.

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.
