A Juncture

 

A Juncture

 

You have arrived to this moment,

Involuntary enrollment.

Life brings you here without your leave,

An hour you did not conceive.

 

A time that’s never been before,

You cannot know what is in store.

A chance to reconfigure dreams,

To move beyond generic themes.

 

Or you may remain in stasis,

Comfortability’s oasis.

Stay behind the closed door,

Never the sky to soar.

 

Fall into a routine’s trance,

Thinking nothing left to chance.

Until you are changed radic’ly,

Brought on by calamity.

 

A left turn come all unforeseen,

No more is life that evergreen,

Darkness on you may descend,

None of us may see all ends.

 

Life will always play its trick,

Though you are walled in by brick.

So why not take the step unknown,

Throw off the boredom so ingrown.

 

You have arrived to this moment,

Involuntary enrollment.

Life brings you here without your leave,

It’s up to you what you achieve.
