Humanity’s Threshold-

 

We stand at a threshold of a door to a grand transfiguration of our existence!

 

Brought to this point,

by the work and sacrifice of generations of our kind.

 

The dance card is written in the stars, our minds are racing.

 

New worlds a wait, filled with challenge, beauty, danger and hope.

            We see new fields for our dreams.

 

The decision, thought, is not made.

 

The future is in front of us,

the options are as numerous as the stars.

 

Like all choices, once made, they will close,

forever, other paths.

 

We must be wise, the decision is not optional, and will not wait for us.

What question will we ask? 

What answer will we seek?

 

Life for us, is short,

 

but the results of our decision will resound within the human cord - Forever.
