The Vision of a Young Boy

Amid the chaos of the world outside The young boy's heart beat with a restless tide Aspiring for greatness beyond the norm But his path to purpose was often forlorn He tried his hand at many things Exploring the world on wings From science to commerce, to tech and more He sought a calling unlike any before Days turned to weeks, weeks turned to years As he searched for his purpose among his peers But the light he chased remained just out of sight All he saw was a tunnel, deep and infinite At twenty-five he stopped to reflect And take stock of his past, with introspect He saw the muddled mess of his prior ventures And started to ponder and rearrange his textures He knew not what lay ahead But he knew what lay behind instead And so he made a conscious choice To live with intent and a clear sense of voice One step at a time, he began to walk Towards the shadows and the light they begot Mistakes were made and lessons were learned And slowly but surely, the embers burned Fuelled by his newfound intent The light that once escaped him started to relent And out of the abyss, a vision took shape That of a man who could bend fate Through the veil of uncertainty The boy saw his purpose finally And with that vision in his eyes He tackled obstacles and soared through the skies At thirty years, he'd come so far To find his calling, his North Star With every stride and every leap His impact on the world began to seep Now, he looks to the skies with hope Wielding his vision as an unbreakable rope For this boy, once lost, is now found His purpose concrete, his destiny sound And though his journey still has miles to go He strides with determination, full of glow For he's seen the world through a different lens And knows his vision will take him to the ends.
