I am the border

I am the border.

Cross me, leave me behind;
beyond it seems that there is sunshine, gateway to paradise and a new life.

I am the border.

Reach me, leave past behind;
beyond it seems that there is freedom, nothing to lose and silence.

I am the border.

I'm not beyond; I am the line
separating now from forever, always crossed, but never read or seen...
