Beyond

General hopelessness sprouts into misery, and prompts one to wonder what lies beyond this plane of consciousness.

Standing atop the ledge 

arrived after hours’ maunder

What lies beyond this edge

of reality, I wonder.

From the precipice’s top

The ground far below 

Indicates a long drop

And if I were to throw

off of it, there isn’t a soul about to stop

me, or even know. 

To push off 

Standing tall

Not so much as a quaff

before I fall.

[Dave Brown]

It is difficult enough doing the jump but the landing part is the real issue

[Clif]

I think what lies beyond is the astral plane. It is another level of existence where spirits go.
