Do you do what gets done
out of obligation or
out of joy?
Do you care?
Where do
I start?
So much to do
every day. So little
gets done.
I know.
Do you judge a day
based on how much
was accomplished?
Do you?
Do you
end your day regretting
what was not completed,
or
do you end the day
looking forward to
tomorrow?
Where do
I begin?

There are days where your vision is not clear, when you find it difficult to look past what is before you to see your true intentions.
You know what you need to do but lately, day after day, you don’t get it done.
You can’t see where you are headed, but know you will get there. That’s how strong your true vision is, or how strong it needs to be.
Look past the barriers.
Nothing can stop you once you stop stopping yourself.

Beyond the sky,
behind your eyes, only
for a time.
Will you recognize
what has to be done
and why?
Keep looking, hard and fast,
don’t let inspiration
pass you by.

We can’t take back days we
deny ourselves the courage
to rise above ailments that
have persisted for too long
a time.
Nestled only in memory, only
our perception will allow a
greater vista than what we
have experienced.
Can we write about the past
in present tense, overlooking
our faults and frailties?
When does it become fiction,
and when will we realize
its inaccuracy?

I’m like a pencil;
sometimes sharp,
most days
well-rounded,
other times
dull or
occasionally
broken.
Still I write.
