.

There comes a time

No matter what age

When a sudden fire

Ignites lost urgency

.

When the dam

Holding one hostage

Suddenly breaks

And fight or flight

Is the only option...

.

Rusty gears set

Into motion again

Move the past

Into the present

.

Once more to defy

The flood ahead

One final chance

To sink or swim...

.

Yet knowing how

To move on even when

Nothing's left to lose.
