The Moment of the Outlander

There are moments in this life.
These moments that seem non-descript
Are the ones where script is written
Enlighten and illuminate
Your realistic meaning
But do not hesitate
For hesitation leads only to
Suffocation of your truest state.
There are moments in this life
Clear without strife
Where silence and patients
Call like a beakon that
Beckons you to awaken
To over-haul your course-laid action.
These moments, though they are fleeting
Are the greeting of your potential.
Quintessential depleting lapses
Of influential power-packed
Time specifically designed
To impact your mind
And settle you in the saddle
Along a path you can handle!
Every loss, every battle
Every change in season has a reason
To push you past the threshold
So you can break the mold of old
Because homeostasis never faces a mirror
Which is why it only interferes
When your finish line finally appears!
The Devil can only invest
In hands still at rest
So, allowe me to digress and address
The moments that seem non-descript
But where our script is written.
If life is but a performance play
Along the way we must peak and fall
Climb and crawl
But above all,
Remember those who stood tall.
The ones of burning ember
Who recognized the moment
A flicker in the dark
And ignited a spark into flame,
Used that flame to perspire
A drive inside to inspire
Themselves to something higher
Born from a willingness to stand alone
They are the Outlanders carved in stone!
