I seek the edge of the world I know,
to find the answers to questions that clearly
could help advance this problem, though,
I lose much of what matters, dearly.

The risk is worth the cost and I,
about the path, ‘neath lilac sky
continue towards the blanketing sands
and waters that maybe understand.

I find it at last, beyond my reach,
as I walk down onto the dim-lit beach,
far out against the twilight sky,
alone, with God, my questions and I.

Ask and it shall be given,
if not on earth, finally, in Heaven.
