Echoing on and out
A day becomes a life
Slowly but surely
Attune to repetition
Routine can be habit forming
Complacent complicity
Taste and see change
Yet cling to comfort
Reflex becomes longing
Yearn for perceived change
Till each finger slips off
Failure in succession
Lose our grasp in finality
Farewell to welfare
Familiar ledge heads skyward
Now falling towards uncertainty
Landings are rarely soft
Transitioned to a new map
Bewildered determination
To climb out!
But even in climbing
There is a repetition
Slowly but surely
A day becomes a life
Echoing on and out
