Original DDE™ surrealistic art entitled “The Edge” by: rob kistner © 8/15/24
Standing at the edge
feeling far below
the great tides
the ebb and flow
the rise and fall
the come and go of centuries
of millenniums
wave by wave
day by day
as it has always been
this might incarnate
this power of indifference
this surge of perfect apathy
and I
as insignificant as the grain of sand
bounced and tumbled
dragged helpless in the undertow
a great froth crested wave
rises up in beckon
the silk of azure blue
draped smoothly down its sloping back
as it dances on the deep
how easy I could slip
into that fathomed realm
down
down
ever down
into the waiting silence
without so much a noticed sound
quiet as a breaking heart
absorbed into the churn and roar
without so much a ripple
to disturb the steady surf
a subtle crease
irrelevant
erased
even as it came
