Upon the razor thin
Of existence
Absolute nothingness
The mental construct of time
We witness the folly
Our flawed attempts
Sheer drop offs
The endless tears
All for a reason
To gain a knowledge
To find wisdom
To grow
To witness the rise and fall
As tides come and go
As the deep empties
Into the warm shallows
As seconds fall forever lost
Into the dark emptiness
Each come back
The clock renews
In its cycle
By day's light
All things pass
Returns alive
We watch from a distance
Crying through each night
And we ask
What more can we do
How can we live and dream
Without this pretense
How can we find joy
More than such regret
The dangerous dance
Upon a razor's edge
Leaves us all
Everyone of us
In the grave
Our only hope
Is to be saved
From everything
We can't control
Our soul balanced
Upon our fears
Broken and flawed
In desperate need of grace
So take my hand
Please love me
Let's try again
Abandon all the years
Give me your heart
And together leap
Into the place where
Only hope can take us
