Next

I awake suddenly to a new day
the world at my feet
I squint at the bright sun
of the future
bask in the warm glow
of the present

I find little more alluring
than potential
The siren's song of the unkown
calls out to me
begging to be known
explored
experienced
felt

I flush at the prospect
of a new city
job
lover
exploding with endless possibilities
each more amazing
than the last

I find no solace
in knowing tomorrow
no comfort in safety
but feel fulfilled
alive
discovering the undiscovered
answering the question
what's next?
