To Be Continued – a poem by Paul Vincent Cannon

VJs Weekly Challenge – Next Chapter

“Life shrinks or expands in proportion top one’s courage.” Anais Nin

To Be Continued 

The book began with a smile
and leaned into a few words
here and there around all
the many moments
that sparked with energy,
and I thought a short bio
might just cover it,
but the spark lit a fire
and the chapters ran on,
so that by the fifth I thought
the glow might dim a little,
instead it continues with fervour
in to a new chapter
of many moments,
framed in a world on the cusp
of something that sparks 
with possibility, but then,
I love a good mystery.

    …framed in a world on the cusp
    of something that sparks
    with possibility…

    Here’s hoping for a good many more chapters!

    Glad to hear that your fifth chapter is still full of fervour. To live a life of possibilities is always intriguing and full of mystery. Love your ending that is a beginning.
