A Backward Glance
Musing, remembering, reminiscing,
A reverie replete with aspiration and idealistic ambition,
Searching for the right words to convey
Those emotions so embedded in the psyche.
That prophecy spawned of a bouyant confidence
Emboldened by youthful optimism and vague design
An experience untouched by life, as yet unaware.
That prophecy spawned of a bouyant confidence
Emboldened by youthful optimism and vague design
Now abounding with achievement incomplete.
But there is something disconcerting
Fraught with angst and unease
About exposing –
Or imploding a profile of a life
Displaying its illusion
Its hunger still unsated,
Its goal still awaiting confirmation
Its tenure still seeking termination
And in so doing
For all life’s trials – a recompense!
