Past or Future !!!

Past or Future

As I stand on the door
Ready to step out
Into a new world
Ready to make
A new beginning
Ready to give
A new meaning to life.

I am tempted
To take the step back
And recoil myself
Into the comforts
Of my old familiar life.

I hesitate for a moment,
I tremble,
I almost make up my mind
To run back
Into the warm embrace
Of my old home , my old surroundings, my old friends.

I feel choked by the nostalgias
I feel weak in my feet
My present feels crushed
Between my past and my future.

But then the hopes in me
Retaliate with all their strength
Re-kindling the longing in me
To take on this world anew
To conquer all its new challenges
And achieve newer heights of excellence.

I bundle up my past memories
And cling them close to my heart
They are my assets for life
As light as a feather
And I will always fondly carry them with me
Adding to them new memories
Which I shall reap as I tread
Along the path of my life

I, now , feel as fresh as the morning dew,
As I take my next steps
To explore a new life
That now awaits me ,
With all its open arms.
