Promontory

I know that many tales were fated to last
These tales are countless worlds, bound together by present and past
I saw a sea of stars stretched upon the heavens and the flowing moonlight
My tale was just one of those stars, guiding my path throughout many nights
It is our destiny to choose where our tales begin and end
We are guided by the memories of moments past around every bend
We witness the power of determination, optimism, hope, and love
And are inspired by other’s tales, watching and guiding us to a bright and glorious future from the heavens above
Of course, one’s journey also offers countless obstacles to face
Competition, anger, sadness, and fear, are just a few of the factors in this race
Some tales are of visionaries, with dreams of doing only what’s right
Some succeed, the rest are blinded by the sorrow of losing their fights
These were my thoughts as I walked onto the promontory, you see
Looking at the stars, the land, and seas of endless opportunities
I could’ve sworn that my tale had been halted at this point in time
Just so I could see my reflection in the sea of stars, of me in my prime!
Regardless of whether my destiny is to succeed or fail
I must continue along my starlit trail
With the past in mind and the present in hand
My future holds a place for me, in some unknown land
