I have stood too long on the edge of eternity
The unknown holds my feet firmly to the familiar
Yet time ultimately demands I must step through
Leaving behind precious gifts this realm offers
Crumbs of memories fall behind me
Fear and excitement in equal
Holding breath I breathe
A hopeful prayer
Leaning into
Light
