Upon the cusp of choice and chance
stagnation's stigma or advance,
the heart must choose though bear in mind
a view holistic, leave behind
judgemental values and askance
eye 'easy' answers, tempting, kind.
Life's finite, if it be romance,
a vote for freedom, high finance,
unbiased ethics underlined
should be to key to Time's wave, find
in time and place trace to enhance
true intuitions, to unwind
the waft and weft whose patterns dance
for which few spare a second glance,
piece jigsaw fractals recombined
into kaleidoscope refined.
Stay not a slave of circumstance,
enhance free-will with shine enshrined

and you can dance! Although I did not go to see what this contest was all about, I did feel that you did a great job describing the choices of transition with your usual flair for the language melding the thoughts. My favorite two lines that say so much are:
"Life's finite, if it be romance,
a vote for freedom, high finance,"
I had to smile knowing the utter truth of this and witness the lack of infinity's line zigzagging around change often! I do enjoy your poetical thoughts when they are deep and yet not buried in confusion. Good luck in the contest! joy
