Fringes

alone

adrift at sea

stranded in the desert

on the summit

below the surface

afloat in space

imprisoned

death lives in isolation

diversity exists
at the fringes
life lives on the edge

where dissimilars
meet that’s
where the action is

where desert merges with
grassland forest mountains canyons
sand becomes soil

where houses schools
walls fences meet nature
microclimates emerge

where springs wells streams
caves geysers volcanoes erupt
surface meets underworld

beaches shores coasts
embankments
land encounters water

cities states countries
borders boundaries
societies confront cultures

evolution through challenge
turmoil negotiation resolution
survival

diversity exists
at the fringes
life lives on the edge
