Life

by Joseph J. Biernacki

​

Despite our agency and sense of purpose given, we must live in time and place and memory and run the noble race.

Hear am I

An open door,

A path ahead,

An unknown shore.

Hear am I,

An epic quest,

An odyssey;

A rueful test.

Hear am I,

A voyage fleet,

A trek so bitter,

A trip so sweet.

Hear am I,

A marathon,

A race of breadth,

And brain and brawn.
