So much time spent in anger
Understanding not the danger
Of refusing this transition
Never accepting the mission
So many years spent charming
Promises disarming
Life on the horizon
Unable to envision
The golden promise
Afraid of the crucible's furnace
Transforming ore of childhood
Soon hard-won metal of adulthood
Sleep in peace tonight
Wake up with insight
My beloved
