I fell off the edge of the Earth today
And down I went, past the grim and the grey.
I dropped through the color spectrum--black, white,
And reality gone; the world began.
Kaleidoscopic simplicity shone
A sepian lifetime, wordless memoirs;
How quickly it seemed to all pass me by.
Then I asked, "Where am I? Why did I fall?"
And was answered in earnest, "You did not."
A voice out of nowhere? Perhaps my mind
Jests, for surely Israfel has a form.
"You jumped," the voice accused, "you've will to die."
"No," I recalled, "I had to get away.
Flying is freedom, and free I must stay."
