Standing at the edge/
of tomorrow/
trembling &/
filled/
with trepidation/
yet anxious/
to leave behind the perfunctory/
drudgery/
life lived/
outside/
as an allegory/
hidden images conciliatory/
mandatory/
superficial/
appeasing the senses/
with well-spoken pretenses/
listless/
just incessant/
noise/
in the distance/
persistant/
strife/
my heart is rife/
for change/
I'm/
taking my final bow/
time's come to disavow/
what no longer/
stirs my soul/
makes me whole/
I must extol/
the virtues of expression/
impressions/
indelible/
so unforgettable/
Where did the time go?
too much to ponder/
now/
or squander/
I vow/
to appreciate/
God's precious gift/
time/
to move on ameliorate/
& rise/
with this first step/
trembling &/ filled/
with trepidation/
I will rise.......
