The Transition



The winds of change pass swiftly by,
Notions of stability left scattered in their wake.
Nary a moment to cherish a glimpse,
Of the Hallowed world one must soon foresake!

Darkness descends upon familiar horizons,
Waves of despair sweeping down with force,
Here, buried under the reddening sky of dusk,
Lies innocence, crushed by life's meandering course!

The future beckons, beyond the thin veil of uncertainty,
Urging,pleading me to test its waters.
The ties that bind, fading gently into oblivion,
No longer a bedrock for my frail shoulders!

Yet, hope flourishes, as does faith
In the One who, my prayers, does heed!
Men may stutter, fortresses of trust may fall,
Yet, he persists in my hour of need!

No destiny is foretold, no history pre-ordained!
The tome lies incomplete, ink left to spare.
Dreams yet nurtured in those wide, bedazzled eyes
Though lay within reach, find the author unaware!

Self-discovery, the zenith of life's journey,
Lies barely beyond the distant creek.
Long and treacherous the path may be
But fortune seldom favours the meek!
