Come To The Edge




“Come to the edge, he said.
They said: We are afraid.
Come to the edge, he said.
They came.
He pushed them and they flew’’

- Guillaume Apollinaire (1880 - 1918)

Hey, you're back! I hope to stay ... I must have checked here a million times. I'll be back, and I had better see a new post.

Come to the edge and spread your wings.
Come and experience what life brings.

Soametimes we have to be pushed to show what we have.

Beautiful poetry.
