Life

Life.
In which direction will it go?
Retirement.
Its definition?
Its meaning?
Work.
Does it define me?
Make me who I am?
How do I make sense of it all?
My place in the scheme of things?
An end of an era looms in the near future
Life as I know it close to the end.
Retirement
A path never before taken
Horizons to search
Possibilities to discover
New worlds to explore.

But in the process, 
I don't want to lose myself.
