Leap of life

Weary of life I am.
The apprehension, the trepidation, the worry.
Losing all ambition.
Life became a painful agony

The future, too tenebrous.
Bleary with obscure paths.
To tackle them head on,
Seemed too much a daunting task.
So I took the last light
Or the last light took it off me.
Wired and tired, I set off to meet the grand jury.

The past, an arduous affair.
Too blue, too poignant.
A young stripling lad with myriad dreams, his exuberant imagination.
The intimidating world vanquished the flare.
Ploughed the seeds of fear.
Dubiety a hapless malevolence, they flourish, they grow, they nurture.

So I chose the last thread
Or let go the last there was.
Uncared and scared,I set off,
To greet the great boss.

The present, a horrid despair.
To jump, to leap, to dare?
Too much confusion, to appease my meddled mind,
To much angst,a nervous foreboding,
What end would I find?

So I take the fall down
Or pave my road up

So I take a leap of faith
Or put my faith into a leap

So I quit for the last time
And time quits on me......
