Edges
by Reem Fayyad Abdel-Samad
At the edge of a lip
a kiss shivers
At the edge of a touch
passion burns
At the edge of a moment
decisions choke
Hesitation prevails
at the edge of anxiety
Destiny descends
at the edge of a decision
Agony is washed away
at the edge of a tear
At the edge of disappointment
hope blooms
At the edge of optimism
yesterday paves the way for today
And
At the edge of today
tomorrow awaits. . . .
