Edge of the World

 

Nothing between us & South America some 16,000kms away

 

The Edge of the World

I cast my pebble onto the shore of Eternity
To be washed by the Ocean of time
It has shape, form & substance
It is me
One day I will be no more
But my pebble will remain here
On the shore of Eternity
Mute witness for the oeons
That today I came & stood
At the Edge of the World
