I stand at the edge of life

Grounded, yet unsettled,

With a warm melancholic feeling flickering within,

I stand at the edge of life

Under the late summer’s daze,

Releasing the embers of uncertainty glowing under my skin,

Straddled within the arms of nature,

As I take it all in,

For growth lives in the uneasiness of courage in knowing how far we’ve come

And where we’ve been…
