What Do I Do Now It’s Over?

poetry (nonmonetized)a poem and a writing promptPhoto by Baim Hanif on Unsplash

Deep breath in:
It’s over.

‘Passed with no corrections.’

Four words about
one hundred thousand others,

a ‘life’s work,’
complete.

Exhale.
It’s over.

What do I do?

Now, my life begins?

#WritingPrompt: What lies ahead when you accomplish the thing you’ve dedicated your life to?

This poem/prompt was written in the moments after my Ph.D. defense. Sometimes, finishing something feels like an ending. Others, it feels like a new start: a fresh page.
