Suddenly....

Life surges forth again

And you don't pretend

To hold back

Suddenly....

You know what you lack

And you search for it

Like a thief in the night

Whether it is wrong

Or right

Suddenly...

You are as hungry

On the edge

As you were

When young

A page has turned...

Suddenly!

You are the author

In control of your life

Again...

But it is...

Suddenly!

Free

And filled

With possibility

Charged with meaning

Impatient expectations

Urgent deviations

Divorced from middle age

A jump-start

The 100,000 mile check

On your life

When you have

Another hundred thousand miles

To go

Suddenly...

LIFE!!!

Is worth starting over

Once again

And pushing the pedal

To the metal

Until the end!

Suddenly...

The world has cracked

Open

The shell has burst

Its boundaries

And you

Are finally FREE

And the future

Is but the canvas

On which you CHOOSE

To paint

In no one's colors...

But your own.
