They stand at opposite ends of the room
Each vying for my attention.
Endless Possibility shows me my toes dipped in a distant warm ocean.
“What if” murmurs cautiously of travel costs, sharks, the undertow…
Endless Possibility rings out a song that flutters with excitement.
“What if” scoffs “Do you really believe you deserve all that?”
Endless Possibility invites me to dance with shoulders stretched wide.
“What if” whispers “What will they think?”
Endless Possibility sets my foot on a new path.
“What if” warns of what’s around the bend.
Endless Possibility says “Dream bigger, step in!”
“What if” says “shhh…don’t be foolish.”
I turn my back on “What if”, for I’ve too long entertained his self-limiting ramblings.
Turning to Endless Possibility with a sparkle of hope in my eyes, I boldly call out her name.
