So you get the chance

To find out where you wanted to be-

Past, present, future

Previous challenges met

Prepared for more

Ready for the unexpected

Is this where you really wanted to be?

Can you see the whole scope

Of your history & choices?

Would you have changed any of them?

Are you changing now?

How long do you stay on the plateau

Having climbed the trail

Having peered down along the way

Seen the desolate soldiers who have fallen-

Loose, footing on the way up

No rope to hang onto

Just keep your balance

At every moment

And find love when you are young

Live as though it lasts forever-

Which it does.

The view is far & vast & varied

The bridges built to unite

The sprinkle of lights in the mist

Blue bays whistling with white caps

And the silence of complete love

Engulfs us as we watch

The sounds of a distant reggae beat smoke

The city lights up a spectrum

The air is as fresh & clean as it ever was

And all is golden
