A Year

-
Tic-toc, tic-toc, tic-toc ... a year gone by, a year awaited,
A year closer to death, a year closer to fulfillment of the purpose of life.

A free fall into wilderness,
A focussed march to goals;

Of two steps taken on the road of pursuit,
Road to where...Do you know the way?

A year of friends and friendships,
So many that far-removed isolation in midst of friends;

A year of change, metamorphosis,
So tremendous...Am I lost?

Yet a thrill in environs unknown,
A joy at being adrift,
Freedom to start yet again,

Turmoil within, turmoil without,
Turmoil, the seed of creation...

A year gone by, a year awaited,
As I embrace this life, as life slips away,

And this curious mind wonders as it wanders...
