On the Threshold

All graduates feel 
they have arrived.
They’re tossing caps, 
exchanging high-fives;
walking with pride, 
experiencing release,
a sense of accomplishment 
and a measure of peace.

Excitement takes over,
anticipation sets in,
wondering about tomorrow
and work to begin.
Life looms on the 
horizon, straight ahead.
What seems to be finished,
just beginning instead.
