There is no time to lose, I want to say;
what difference can be made must be right now.
Despite a sense of overwhelming odds,
each inch of progress changes the whole world.
When we begin to try, the fulcrum shifts,
and what was once impossible is not;
in place of pale excuses why we can’t,
imagine that it is already done.
Who says there is no point in pressing on?
Ignore those whispers from beyond the edge.
Let others take the easy path ahead;
what is worth doing will take all your strength.
Look down; your feet are both there on the path.
One step, and then another, ‘til it’s done.
