I'M Just Getting Started

It was an uphill long climb, grueling for me, up the precipitous slope called career, unpredictably slippery and tenuously craggy, I followed the winding contours with tenacity leading me to the summit people called success where the sky of aspiration seemed limitless. It’s time now to hang up the boots, begin the downhill descend on bare foot, realize how difficult it is to climb down the discarded forlorn track to nowhere in the darkness of obscurity, for the limelight has disappeared. I’m just getting started to embark on a lonely last mile journey over the debris of defoliated trees, once looking up to the seamless sky, through the dwindling dale where shards of time roll uncounted to remote emptiness where the bells will toll for me to start the ultimate voyage to eternity.
