Commitment

Theworld can be a frightful beast

Withgnarled fangs and cuspate claws

Thatauthor pause, creating cause for

Hesitationto commit.

 

Decisionthis, selection that,

Theoddest twist of tit for tat,

Thesinking feeling of concern for

Premonitionsof regret.

 

Fearinvokes the perfect storm of

Doubtand indecisiveness,

Trailslined with divisiveness

Ofbaleful bane and benefit.

 

Cannotopt for second best

Whenmettle quickens to the test.

Makea choice, reject the rest

Withno prerequisite.

 

There’sno need to please the masses.

Seizethe moment ere it passes.

Thismay be the perfect fit

Iffate is kind and you commit.
