New Plateau Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Arriving at a new plateau.
Is often achieved,
By those who have experienced...
Many tasks to have had passed.
Some climbing up from valleys.
With others taking risks.
Facing whatever comes to exist.
Exploring to discover the results of this.
And earning every second of it,
Learning to let go...
Of what has been accomplished done to do.
Unafraid to move on.
Becoming less fearful to live life,
With a wider perspective.
And a broadened point of view.
To graduate.
Continuing to grow.
And no one knows but God,
When that time comes to arrive.
With it done.
Not to decide.
If one is or is not prepared.
They are there...
At a new plateau.
Accompanied by an expanded mind.
