Different Today

How strange it is
This feeling in my breast
Life is unfolding
Filled with so much zest

My future is calling
It’s on my caller ID
I’m taking this call
My response is carefree 

Details still forming 
Days not numbered yet
Just a matter of time
On this I will bet

Conscience says “don’t jinx it!”
But from deep down inside
Knowing in my blood
I’m walking wide-eyed

Now just a bit longer
For the drape to draw back
Deep breath before I leap
Life’s at last on track

Author's Note:
This felt like the right place to begin. For me. For here. I hope you enjoy, and it lifts you, as it did me — Liora
