HOW FAR CAN YOU GO

This is my life, the path I am on as a 77 year old paraplegic of 35 years. Never had a poetry class/workshop/mentor everything I write is from my intuition, for me, and perhaps others will get into it

Before you can’t get back

How many horizons need be touched

How close to the edge 

Do we dare ourselves to wander

Not looking for anything it’s there

So close fear letting off its scent

Allowing itself be known

Heed the hint understand

There is nothing to fear unless

You give up

How far can you go

Before you slip off the edge

No telling guessing or pretending

There is only one way to go

Open to the unknown that knows you not

Beyond the horizons of understanding

Free falling into nothingness emptiness

Spaceless weightless bodyless 

No directions home none necessary

You are
