Awakening's Discovery

Might we somehow be lulling ourselves into slumber as aging suggests the time is short?

Awakening’s Discovery
              by Odin Roark

Once you discover
Who you are
Where you’ve been
Why the paths chosen

Something happens
Urging ever forward
Blank white flutterings
Pages unwritten

So many chapters now past
Unlike authoring a book
Ones words
Action and resolve
Remain fixed

Yet

Up ahead
Waits the anxious
Seconds
Minutes
Hours
Making up the days
Where as before
We can still design
The continuing story
Defining future chapters
Acknowledging the drifting sands
Of one’s hourglass
Perpetual

After all
Like all of existence
Energy never stops
Save any directional change
That limbo stage
So brief
So meaningful
Promising anew
Tomorrow’s discovery

We only need awaken
