The Edge

He leaned over the table and his eyes got suddenly intense.
"Imagine that you are riding
On the edge of light
Where the Big Bang began;
Both the start and the end of the Universe.
There there is no time.
You are still at the moment of creation.
Radiating behind you is all the History of the Universe
But all you know is limitless possibility
And none of the dead certainty that
You have passed over."
Then he sat back, looked up
And was lost
Light years away.
