A Chance
Lights in the sky signal the new
My spirit is lifted with hope, my fears are few
Questions surround me like smoke
Yet. I can see
Uncertainty covers me with its shadow
Yet. I can see a like at the end of the tunnel
The journey of books and study ends for now
A sea of time; to discover, to enjoy, to do as I please, stretches far.
Yet it is short.
Soon I am back giving five of my seven.
Sometimes six, Sometime seven.
I am what I am.
But, maybe, possibly, A chance, to become, something, something, more.
I give my all, my soul, my blood, my sweat, my tears, my whole being
It builds and it builds, rising and rising, until a crescendo!
And there it is! There it is.
The reward for my work, the end of my journey, the end of my chance.
And yet. There is something else.
A small speck, an inkling, a whisper
It says: “more”
I can, or I can’t, I think, I don’t know, maybe, another, possibly, yes!
A chance! A chance! To be more than what I am.
Oh! That is my yearning, my desire
A chance to be greater than, bigger than, smarter than, better than the me before me.
Though this journey, this chance, is almost through
A new journey, a new chance awaits.
Awaits across that seas of time.Lights in the sky signal the new
