Beautiful days laced with promises of similar tomorrows
No taste of sourness mixed together with sorrows
Days of confined and predictable youth these were
The intricate innocence is nothing but a childhood fare

When the borders tumble, what is there to do?
Stand of naked upon this worn muddy spot?
Wait for a transformation into something revolutionary and new?
Is what I want a possibility? It is certainly not

Horrors of the passage rite are more common than the pleasures
For we give up so much certainty and past treasures
What should become of each of us heading through that door?
Either we stand where we are forever or gain the courage to soar

i feel like this is just a small part of something much more grand, like this is leading into something extraordinary

i think this needs to be continued..

deep thinking. A great poem. Same as EagleScorpion, I felt it was unfinished.  
Love the read.
