the journey
from the carefree childhood
to the sprightly teen
was intriguing, while
the journey
from the bountiful youth
to the experienced adult
was daunting
as I reflect on the past
I see a canvas painted
with the beautiful colors
of the rainbows along with hues
interspersed with the shadows
as I look over the yonder
I see a horizon calling me
with it's arms outstretched
beckoning me to take the road
where the destination remains unknown
I stand rooted
caught in the there and now
undecided
unsure
whether I have
the wherewithal
to be once more
forged in fire, and
thawed in ice
I give time, time.
