Graduation

Graduation.
Is a time for rebirth.
The sun will peek
through the clouds
soon enough.
Graduation.
Everything you’ve
been waiting for.
It all comes down
to this one moment.
Graduation.
Blue gowns flutter
in the smooth wind.
Square hats with golden tassels
fly up into the sky
creating a new reality.
Graduation.
All you wait for
is summer’s sweet disposition
to unravel.
You can’t wait
to feel the hot, glaring sun
on your back.
Feel the sand
between your toes.
All you want
is to have
all the freedom in the world.
Graduation.
It’s almost here.
To sweep you off your feet,
and lift you higher than
the twinkling stars.
Graduation.
Your future is knocking
On the door.
Will your dare to open it?
