The Edge of Forever

The Edge of Forever

I want to go to the edge of forever
Where the sunsets never end
Where the stars shine for eternity
And the angels are my friend

I want to leave this world of hurt and pain
Of destruction and despair
For a place where joy reigns freely
Within the hearts of man

I want to hide my soul
Within the light
Until the world
forgets my name
Until the gates of heaven open wide
And I stake my final claim

I want to hide away
from evil
So the devil never wins
Escape from all temptation
all fear and deadly sin

I want to hide my soul
in God's embrace
Until the stars
fall from the sky

Until my heart heals
from it's brutal wound
And the tears
dry in my eyes

I want to hide
away forever
Until the world
no longer turns
Free from all pain and sorrow
And the lessons
we must learn

Really good write. I like it. But it made me sad because if you were to fade away or escape this world and life then you wouldn't be able to write and share on here. :) I think that it is perfectly normal, pain and battling emotion. Besides what your poem made me think about I think you wrote it well and I thank you for sharing.

Thanks so much Lily

Like this too, this is a mixed bag of a rhymed quatrain, then an unrhymed one, then free verse, so it hops about a bit, but I like the message and the way it is written

[Carolann Dowsett]

Wow, a very powerful and interesting poem. I have the feeling it switches constantly from being very depressive to enlightening. Great poem, I enjoyed it a lot! Thank you for the share :)

"I want to hide my soul

Until the stars

Until my heart heals"

the life we learn from and the one we live with after that....as Glen Close said in "the natural"

on earth we suffer often, even amongst the joy we share...but there must be a place where we can get away from it all...and just find some kind of peace.

if only we could find that edge...as we age that becomes more and more an appetizing thought.

[Carolann Dowsett]

Thank you Jacob. It certainly does
