Edge of Forever

There is a chapel of repose
Upon an island to eternity
A quite respite to decide and choose
To embrace infinity

We're born to sail this ragged sea
Filled with waves to engulf desires
With open heart we seek the key
That will guide us from this mire

In the course of one's reflections
Lies decisions hastily made in strife
Many will fail to make corrections
In their voyage to another life

As this ship sails to the edge of forever
Time is found which has no end
Those who wander are the givers
A few we'll know as friends

Many will pass beyond the edge
To some they will be missed
While others will thread the ledge
Afraid of the maddening abyss

By and by our trek will have an ending
For we'll be judged by our creator
Hoping goodness will be the binding
Which allows us thru the gate?

So in the course of this solemn trip
Felt deeply in our soul
We'll steer the rudder of our ship
Towards the brightness beyond the cold
