Race to meet your destiny come
Rise above the twisting stones
Waves surging, desperate to hold behind
Toward the future, clouds draw aside
Color fades and sinks neutral, seemingly undertaken
Forgotten as the sky arises, already overlooked
Stretch beyond the fading tide
Fighting against a free flown mind
Travelled up on sunken rows
Far from the darker slum
Author notes
About finding your future no matter how tough it seems to get or how far into the sky it has gotten. Difficult to write because I took the original poem, rhyming couplets, and set them like a wave. The "A1" started the poem and "A2" ended the poem. Somehow it came out really nice.
