nascent

By missanthropic

each berth is without promise
save that of life
which while new,
holds all manner of possibility -

it is the slow progress of one’s experience
that fashions our fate,
like the pencil sharpened by a knife
which, despite it’s irregular edges
can still be used to make one’s point
