Standing on the Precipice

Standing on the Precipice

Standing on the Precipice
contemplating specs 
of reflection
faint illumination
the nature of existence
individual perspective
defined by actions
choice exists
changing paths
or jumping off cliffs…
Like Sisyphus unending task
boulders exist purpose unasked
we alone define our acts
egocentric parallax
passionate sincerity outlasts
inward focus limits surpassed
transcending consequence.
Burden assumed we soar at last 
pivoting out into the vast 
splendidly absurd 
universe.
