POETRY: 'A Reflection' by Kabriel Moorehead

A Reflection
By Kabriel Moorehead


After the party has ended and the confetti has dropped
A moment of reflection is necessary
To recognize where we are in this place in time
Who would have ever gazed into the stars one night
And dreamed a fantasy as lucid as this one?
Once in a lifetime experiences have become a daily occurrence
As our destinies now rest in our own palms
The world has become dough that we mold in our own favor
Obstacles have become nothing more than dirt under our feet,
Imperfections that soil our standing without impeding our march
But in a time where hardship is minimized
How can character be built?
When struggle is the true teacher of strength
How can a precipitous fall from the top of the mountain
Down to the ground where the confetti rests be averted?
Only by a accepting a simple truth,
Complacency is the root of all falls
The route to greatness has no destination,
It is a continuous journey that we all must continue to strive towards
So as the confetti drops,
And we stop for a moment to reflect upon on past accomplishments
The most important idea to remember
Is that the best is yet to come
