New Year Requiem

We are quest-ers
Left with even more questions
We find out at the end
We are being dragged to begin again
We only fake control

When you are thankful for an ending
You are also giving thanks for a beginning
But you only have one
Because life doesn't allow double wins
And yours is not the invisible hand in control

Control
When you try to get more
Out of this than you ought
So you set milestones to celebrate
And set goals to attain
To mark an ending
And fake control

But endings are beginnings
And
All that is ever gained 
Are questions
Even more questions 

So meet me at 
Your goals ending
Another beginning
And show me what you have gained
I know what you have found
More questions

Before you can ask
"Is this it?"
You are thrown into another beginning
But if you can find space
Between the old and new
An unclaimed space
Between the old and new...

Seize it, you've earned it
And have a Happy New year
