Looking Forward and Back


A step forward,
New and beautiful.

A step back,
Challanging and useful.

A new beginning,
The distant horizon.

A woeful end,
The yard just gone.

A window
To look forward through.

A mirror
To look back through.

A chance to grow,
Begin again.

A chance to fall,
Back again, back again.

Which to choose,
Which to ignore?

Looking forward and back,
The future and past.

Another out of the woodworks. Or cobwebs ;) This time with the title in the poem.
