The stillness was death defying
On the edge of reality
A borderline in a whisper of air
Pass the boundary there was no repair
The suspense here is almost too much to bear
In the mist of it their was such a flare
That held a special prayer

Suspended animation in such despair
That the mind could not declare
In what state of disrepair
Because their was such a big tear
In my sensitive hearts electric chair

While people were not aware
Of my fatal game of solitaire
In their glee to be self made millionaires
Declaring how life was so unfair
To all of their affairs

In the simple saying of the Lord’s Prayer
He gave me the invisible hug of a grizzly bear
Taking me away from death’s chair
Teetering on the edge I swear
As I scampered back from such a scare
That awoke with a book of common prayer

Now I am careful to sit in upon a chair
In tender loving care
A lounge chair
A beach chair
But never ever a solitaire chair
Especially on the very edge of thin air
