Everflowings of Time

I’m Watching them leave, 

As the world shifts and changes.

I’m Standing in the shadows,

Which will soon become the spotlight. 

I’m sitting in the room as  a student,

Which will soon become the graduate. 

It truly is a crazy concept.

That time travels faster than we think.

Moments ago, 

I was a child running carelessly in the wind

Now I’m on my way,

To becoming a captain,

Navigating the endless seas. 

Once we leave the piers, 

The entire world becomes an endless sea,

With ships of everlasting opportunities,

Flooding the oceans of possibilities, 

That outnumber the stars in the skies. 

A million worlds stand before this one. 

A million opportunities lie beyond this path.

As I stay hidden in the shadows, 

For not much longer, 

I watch as everyone steps up,

And steps in to line,

For as they say,

All things have their time.
