Moving the Mark

I know every day is a battle,
no less for the young than it is for the old.
When you are young you need to remind yourself
that you are, INDEED, young!
The future is still a malleable uncertainty …
unfixed….and yielding to your ambitions.
There are certain things in life that I know I can never do…
time and opportunity make them unrealizable dreams.
However, you have unnamed decades stretching out before you
that are unmarked, waiting only for you to make your move.
Whatever you dream to do, awaken its blood-rich soul!
it is forever wintertime for those who flounder in slumbering thought!
Life is a space measurable by fullness or emptiness…
you are the one who moves the mark.
