to put words to paper

it pains me even now

that which lies in the past

is what has brought me to this place

my only living regret is to have been unable

to manifest the deepness and affection deserved
from nothing...

I am no stranger to circumstance and as such

I now wade into this sea,

this sea of uncertainty,

following the only guide which knows the way

my heart, for it pounds with force as I now climb

that ever steep pinnacle, to which when I surmount its mighty shelf

I shall dive ever so deep, --eyes closed, and I shall summon wings with which to fly.
