Make a Wish

Hovering at the periphery of reality

Another line on the wall

Perfect rainy weather

Perception of time starting to blur

Yet more days added to, and taken from, the count

-

Before learning about the world

I wasn't certain about my place in it

Right now, it all seems so far away

Though it's closer than I ever thought it would be.

How did I get to this point, without really noticing the years passing?

Doomed to walk ever forward

Always with eyes on the future

Yesterday I was young...

-0-

Months disappear like dew from the morning grass

Alas that I should now notice its absence

Keeping up with myself is hard enough

Even though my story's just begun

-

Another reminder that I exist. And once the candle's gone there's no getting it back.

-

Without ever thinking that I would, I've made it here

I'll face this new challenge with teeth bared in a determined grin

So that I'll never lose sight of the

Hope that I will make it further still and rise above all I've done before

Acrostic
