UPON THE BRINK<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

I stand once more,
\nquite precariously,
\nupon the brink
\nof what\u2019s in store,
\nupon the edge
\nof the future
\nand what lies ahead
\nas time marches on.<\/p>\n

\n

It has no intent
\nof slowing down,
\ntime moving
\noh so fast,
\nand in my dreams
\nof night and day,
\njust a tiny hint
\nof what might
\ncome my way,
\nthough I don\u2019t
\nreally know when;
\nmaybe tomorrow
\nor maybe someday.<\/p>\n

\n

Maybe magical moments,
\nmaybe adventures bold;
\nI don\u2019t really have any idea
\nwhat the future holds;
\nBut I\u2019m glad to
\nhave had the chance
\nto speed things up a bit,
\nfor just last night
\nI got a jump start
\nas I set my clock ahead.
\nAnd as the hands
\nmove \u2019round the clock,
\nI\u2019m not too far behind,
\nfor I know once more
\nI\u2019m on my way
\nas I drift off to sleep
\ndreaming of
\ncome what may.<\/p>\n

\n

But I know that
\nby jumping forward
\nI\u2019m not getting
\ntoo far ahead,
\nas before I know it,
\nOctober will be here,
\nand I\u2019ll fall
\nonce more
\nbehind.<\/p>\n
