The Light at the End of the Tunnel

Darkness, wet, warm, safe
Bright lights, confused, cold, separate
The FIRST light at the end of the tunnel

Growing, anticipation, studies, play
Anxiety, discomposure, unfamiliar, significant
The SECOND light at the end of the tunnel

Heady, arrogant, decisive, exploring
Out, OUT, OUT!!! Independence
The THIRD light at the end of the tunnel

Bills, loans, classes, erudition
Years, colleagues, contacts, career
The FOURTH light at the end of the tunnel

Children or not, traveling or staying
Decisions, complications, sanguine, complacent
There is no need for a light at the end of the tunnel

Changing, maturing, aging, greying
Stability, creativity, enlightened, peaceful
And still no need for a light at the end of the tunnel

Uncertainty, fear, inanity, inevitable
Declining, clinging, believing, repudiating
The FINAL light at the end of the tunnel

What will it bring?
Where will it take me?
What adventure awaits me?
The light at the end of the tunnel has always been there..... look and see!
