Lying down on my bed, trying to sleep
My mind, a whirl of fleeting thoughts
Like a clearing storm, one thought with crystal clarity
“What is the essence of your life?”
The power within, the hope without
The drive that surmounts all fear
That spark that gets it all going
“What is the essence of your life?”
The accomplishments and the power
The acknowledgments and the glory
The accouterments and the honor
“What is the essence of your life?”
Finally, it is the time of the inevitable
When nothing I could ever say would matter
What, out of all these, could I take beyond the boundary?
That is the essence of my life!
