The Calling

Only I understand how much I toiled to get here,
Betting my last dollar I never knew I’d get this close,
To see the light at the end of the tunnel; priceless.
Especially after six years of wallowing in darkness.
Bitter sweet experience it has been.
An incoherent tune I’ve been mixing through the years,
Now the final tune is playing and I adore it in it’s grandeur.

I can taste it at the tip of my tongue.
My beads of sweat blooming into fruits of labour.
I stand at the very edge of accomplishment.
Bowing my head at a finish line I craved so dearly.
Only to lift it up and see I am at another edge.
A starting line; beginning of a journey.
Oblivious of what the road ahead looks like.

Even though the path I’m about to take is unclear,
I shall tread; valiantly.
The sirens are calling and I shall answer.
Solemnly pledging to work diligently,
To remain noble and true to my calling.
I have infinite possibilities in the Life as a Daktari.
