A Poem of Life

A new calling.
A leap into the unknown.
A hand held for life.
A city not yet learned—

none of it begins with a plan.

The moment comes.
The blood brightens.
You set your teeth,
step through the door—

and the whole world turns.

Only the little things
ask to be considered forever:
what to eat,
what to buy,
where to spend an afternoon.

Those words were carried for years
until living made them true.

So, friends—
do not linger at the threshold.

The things that change a life
rarely knock twice,
and never wait
for you to be ready.
