The Brink

Staying on the brink, just there but not
we the unbrave rendered thus by chaos
from past lives that have rent

minds from peace. But the brink is all-
Pervasive — so often the brink
of love, of insanity, of suicide, of clarity,

of peace, and pieces, and war
becomes the all of existence and keeps
you on the brink of life

when a little leap of faith is all it takes.
