Potential

Potential
a word that comes to mind
at every crossroad in life
when we reconsider
life's choices
and choose again
a second round
everybody has them
our best competition
is ourselves
going forward
backward
or holding on
as if life
would be so kind
as to stop
progression.
No,
potential
is a dream
in progress,
fulfillment
carries on to a
second round
the race at best
is ourselves
deep inside,
the drive
like water over a dam
flows smoothly
with added potential,
the air recharges
the water,
we choose again
going forward
backward
or holding on --
Potential,
a word that comes to mind
at every crossroad in life
