Could Be Anywhere...

the Abyss Again

Standing on the crumbling edge
listening to the cries below
hidden in the serpintine fog.
Awakened here on the edge
sensing the edge of mortality
as foot dislodges tumbling rock.

Laughing from sheer terror
that has become familar friend
hundreds of times awakened here.
Awakened not the real awake
a false dreaming awakening
once terrifying, unknown...now known.

Knowing every inch and terror
of this horrible, blood chilling
edge of abyss never ending.
Dreams so real, seems as real
this place is real to me now
after all these years of visits.

Knowing there are hands reaching
hands reaching for my help
as the footing slips away.
Knowing that there is no human help
as calling out to my Savior
really awakened as I fall...

lol yeppers...
can't you tell my favorite authors
are E.A. Poe and C.S. Lewis? With a
taste of Aspirn and Heinlien to offset
the Stanley and King?  Rather ecliptic, eh?
Thank you for the comments, my friends...
