Contemplate

Beyond the edge of light, lies darkness,
beyond the edge of land, lies an ocean,
beyond the edge of a house, lies a ruin,
beyond the edge of friendship, lies enmity,
beyond the edge of love, lies hatred,
beyond the edge of lust, lies regret,
beyond the edge of youthness, lies old age,
beyond the edge of richness, lies poverty,
beyond the edge of wisdom, lies madness,
beyond the edge of health, lies illness,
beyond the edge of life, lies death,
and beyond the edge of the world, lies The Judgement Day.

Contemplate!.

Love the possible meanings you could get from this... personally, it made me feel the need to appreciate what I have right now- as for every blessing there is a curse, and there is a thin line between them both.
Well written and great food for thought, well done :)

from this poem. i agree: this is very well written...amazing...thanks for sharing!
