Return As I Again

Return as I again, With daring striking in my chest, Another circuit open chain, Then stop to rest, Procrastinate, a cover for refrain. Watching time pass again, I wonder would it be somehow, My season comes to preordain, The time is now, Shoot flaming straight, destroy excuses lame. But fate relieves again, The urgency that I would feel, For courage in my heart to fain, To make it real, What kind of chance, could I then ascertain?

It is good to make new beginning. Interestingly enough your previous poem's title was, "Conceive", now, "return as I". Yes, it is always, me, but a newer me, a me that has learned things and grow from the past experiences and is embarking on a path to yet grounds higher and it is up to me how I'm going to fill in the blanks between day 1 and when its time ends. Thought provoking as usual David and well written.
