24

Twenty-four

Twenty-four revolutions around the

Sun

A speck of dust

In this vast universe

Me

Twenty-three was not

What I 

Expected

Twenty-three to be

23 was a 

Shock

To say the least

Things did not play out

How I had

Hoped

Anticipated

I feel like I learned

More

At 23

But at the same time

I feel as if I didn’t learn

Enough

Something

A piece of the giant 

Puzzle

Is missing

Things did not click

In the manner that I had

Hoped

And anticipated for

I felt myself

Slip through my own fingers

I saw myself

Fall through the hands of 

The Creator

A speck of dust

In this vast universe

Me

I have more people

Around me

Yet I felt more

Alone

If you can hear me

Dear God,

Make it all right

It’s wonderful how 

The world

How life works

It’s interesting to

Live through

And work through

A plethora of emotions

Changes

Energies

It’s too much to account for

Too much to understand

An unsolvable mystery

With an answer hidden

In plain sight

We gonna be ok

I know I’m alive

God’s not finished

Let’s see where twenty-four takes

Me

I’ll check in again at 

Twenty-five

Twenty-four laps and

Counting…
