I stood beside a virtual stage <br />Leading from an everlasting hall <br />My soul was trapped within a cage <br />A silent whisper gave my name a call <br /> <br />I strolled up the steps of fear <br />Upon a pedestal of regret <br />As I knew the end was approaching near <br />My conscience broke into a sweat <br /> <br />Glowing orbs <br />To what seemed like milestones <br />Releasing the strength which I absorbed <br />Sent energy through each bone <br /> <br />A mirror of life was placed before my eyes <br />As I observed its magnificent glow <br />Its radiance caught me by surprise <br />Revealing answers I did not know <br /> <br />Hope! Alas i finally see <br />Milestones define Man’s success <br />He acts upon no decree <br />And holds tightly what he possesses <br /> <br />An onix of milestones stretched across the hall <br />Each telling a story of fate <br />Once again, that silent call <br />A voice I can familiarly relate <br /> <br />Many of which defined my past <br />Others hold in Future’s mystery <br />Who knows how long each would last <br />But I see what I see in me<br /><br />Anders Lim<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hall-of-milestones/
