Moment

Life is composed of many moments,
   each different and unique.
All built off of one another,
   weaving together,
   creating a story.

All it takes is one moment:
   one moment to make a mistake,
   one moment to shine,
   one moment to change who you are,
   one moment to define yourself.

One moment is all it takes.

All it comes down to is
   one moment among many.

When will your moment come?

Hesitation/Night

"Walk to the edge of the light
and a few steps into the darkness."

Two steps forward,
   one step back.
Slowly moving to the edge,
   squinting through the dark:
hoping to see a glimmer
with the remaining light.
No such luck.

Holding your breath and
peering into the night:
    paralyzed by the unknown.
Knowing the next step is paramount;
    nothing will ever be the same.

Is change a good thing?
Or is it a bad?

Pondering for what seems an eternity,
   you absentmindedly take a step forward.
   One by one
      Another
         And another
            And another.

Focused on a small patch of space
   directly in front of you.
Slowly looking up and around...
Tiny jewel-like points twinkling in the sky;
   the stars are out tonight.
