The Next Chapter
It’s time
to take a good hard look
at my life -
where it’s going
and where it’s gone.
I’ll regard it
through the bottom of a glass,
through the edge of a mirror.
It won’t stand up
to detailed scrutiny.
A sideways glance,
looking for some clues
for the next chapter,
and maybe I push too much,
seek to hard,
for the only answer I receive
is there in a pile
of shattered
glass.

Love this poem Hull. It is good to reflect every now and again...at least once a year. Write On!

I also like to add that we should peek on our past, at times. For in the past, we have a lot to learn.
A sad but excellent poem, Hull
