The dark chasm
Coffee House Writers / Ivor Steven

There is a dark chasm in the ground
Here, on the wrong side of town

Beyond the precarious edge
I cannot see a safe landing ledge

The black abyss is bottomless
And fiendishly fathomless

As I peer across the boundless crack
I wonder about life’s widening track
Will I ever be able to find my way back?
