Description

Have you ever stood at the edge of a precipice and sensed the crevasse within? suppressing an urge to explore an uncharted chasm.

Would you ever consider such a prodigious act? Not just a step into oblivion, more likely a leap to jolt the very foundations of your present existence!

You vacillate a lifetime waiting for the perfect moment when the leap will come naturally ignoring all your fears and insecurities.

But the moment never arrives does it?

You continue to dither endlessly at the edge; struggling to dislodge boulders of reality and practicality.

The mind is a window to the surreal, a gateway to Elysium. But the window is barred, most likely by the incessant ranting of a rational world and the inexorable ties that bind you to the existential ethos of the human race.

Can you not transcend to a level of existence that is beyond the peripheries of a mundane life, a journey into the deepest, darkest corridors of your mind.

A journey that you have always considered but never under taken for fear of what you may find.

Will you always stare listlessly into the darkness? your eyes pleading to focus on the obscure shadows of an extraordinary existence.

Every time you turn around and walk away, the darkness deepens.

At some point soon the shadows will be lost in the murky nebulae of your past, leaving you forever confined to the ground beneath your feet; a stygian landscape lit only by the smouldering embers of a squandered imagination.
