At the precipice of time I shuddered to take a leap,
\nBut I took a chance to peep at future.<\/p>\n
And was stymied by its opaqueness and nebulousness;
\nPast protested in pain,
present was angry.<\/p>\n
But ashes of past were stifling my life
\nAnd the morass of the present left me hanging dry.<\/p>\n
Still the inner voice held firm:
\nGamble of future was better than what came before it.<\/p>\n
Life is transcendence of temporal and illusory,
\nSnuffing of ego.<\/p>\n
Future is a journey of the possible,
\nReawakening of our dreams.<\/p>\n
A new beginning lifts our soul,
\nRemoving obstacles in our path.<\/p>\n
It melts into eternity,
\nOur last destination.<\/p>\n
Suffern,
