The Passage of Time

Certain moments in our life become a precipice
Standing on the cusp of the great unknown, looking back at the life we lived, we consider whether it was a victory or a mess?


Call it what you must, whether predisposition or natural intuition
,
One always reflects on the journey that has lead to the proverbial ‘fork in the road.’
We observe our life with incomparable clarity now, having the benefit of hindsight.
We all find ourselves reminiscing now, about to embark on a new quest
Full of hope, curiosity and zest
We must remember the lessons learnt from our previous adventures
And take the knowledge with us as we travel ahead.

This moment of reflection is a small passage of time
But in it are mysteries of an inexplicable kind
The foresight to avoid pitfalls is contained in this moment
Pray you understand and save yourself from much torment
.

“This poem is a reminder to me and to us all of the importance some moments have in our lives. The moments I refer to are the ones we experience before embarking on a new phase of life or before a crucial decision. It is paramount that one examines the journey thus far and weighs up the merits of the decision about to be made..

Failure to reflect on what life has taught us thus far is a recipe to invoke the same perils and heartache felt before.”
