Just An Edge Away

When it feels like the world is closing in on me,

Gripping my arms,

Choking my neck and

Suffocating me inside a numb cocoon…

I step out of my room

Climb to the terrace

And emerge into the vast horizon Of trees and buildings

Cooing of birds and the giggles of children

Utensils clanking and my dog barking

And then I look up,

To be greeted by a few lonely stars who make me their friend for this moment

I don’t feel alone, but definitely lost

Lost in this precipise between my reality and the vast openness above me.

If only I could step into the blue milky ocean,

But hey…

I’m just an edge away.
