Engage in Boldness

What does it mean to boldly go

when there is no star ship in sight?

How do I get to where no one has gone before

when I don’t know if I should go left or right?

When do I make choices to go past the stars

and live without fear of a wrong turn?

Can I live long and prosper this year

and from life find lessons to learn?

Does temporal time stand still

while I decide what to do next?

Or proceed at high warp speed

faster than a fourteen year old can text?

Tell me: How I can transport into the new year

and make it the best ever?

When do I tell myself, “Make it so”

rather than slithering into never?

I’m a woman, not a doctor, 

but does that really matter?

It’s time to boldly go and go and go

and not listen to self-defeating alien chatter.

I must discover the saga of what’s ahead

and not be stunned by what I find

I shall give this year all I’ve got

and not leave any directives or red shirts behind

The best intentions shall (La)forge ahead

and beam me to a place of wonder

No holodeck or holograms do I need

Except maybe an imaginary place to ponder

What will this bold year of 2018 hold in store

as the days, weeks and months revolve around the sun?

Will I go where I have never been before

and leave resistance and those damn Borg on the run?

Will I logically follow the path set before me,

the future in my hands, like war to wage?

Yes, I shall lay in a course for a fascinating year

And leave you with one word: Engage!
