The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

the rim of the world


Recommended Posts

I am balanced on the rim of the world-

The world as you know it behind,

The world noone knows ahead,

On the rim, I stand perfectly aligned.

 

Fantasy is ahead, giving me insight

To my well of creativity and lending

Me a getaway when I feel that negativity

Is all anyone has been sending.

 

Whenever I reach into it, my balance

Waivers- So I am left outstretched,

Not wanting to reach too far and fall

To hit the Rim and never be catched.

 

A wind sweeps up from behind, pulling

Me backwards into reality, but I refuse

To budge from my post. I will not abandon

One for the other, as both are there for use.

 

I am balanced on the rim of the world-

Positioned for happiness, I stand

Willing to wait to let each show me

Ways to go without any demand.

C.S. Lewis said that the only ones who hate Escapism are Jailors.

 

It's a delicate balancing act indeed, but it's possible to be real and yet find the creative fantasy in life. It needed be like a light and its shadow, for one only sees the umbra when one's turned their back to the light.

 

Rather find the glory in the veins of a leaf, the beauty in the tears of a child, the music of rumbled voices slightly out-of-focus in a classroom.

 

Be aware of every day wonders...
