The final stage is in range.
The blood, sweat, and tears
were sincere. The highs
and lows that I felt
were never in vain.
I push off the shore into
the final stage. My boat
floats without resistance
toward a solitary island
in the distance. Onward,
I go: it’s coming to a close.
The final stage is where
I must be. There’s a final
boss that I must beat.
The last, final stage
will be the best one
I will have played
in this fateful game.
Tag: stages
Transcendence
The steps I’ve made
and the years I’ve seen
Allowed me to appreciate
the time in-between.
The days go by;
my clock keeps ticking
Faster and faster
to match my thinking.
Thoughts and memories
fade into the abyss,
Leaving behind
what will be missed.
But the changes
that I see help me
Envision a new
place to be.
