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

We take tally of days, events, and milestones that matter;
even subconsciously. They matter, in time, or at the time.
Each stroke, each day, represents something monumental
in some way. We recall days, perhaps not as often as we
should, that leave an impression on our mind. People and
places influence our solitary path, especially when we feel
alone. The conscious kindness of others will brighten your
life cycle in periods when you need to shed greater light on
what we have lived through. No columns represent wins or
loses. Every single mark a subtle stanza of a never-ending
poem registering episodes of emotion. Over time, all of our
experiences add up to well-lived life. Swift as a heartbeat, the
sheer number of marks on the page is ever-humbling. We
are present through it all. Whatever stage you find yourself
in this journey, it is just as important to remember all of the
occasions and occurrences as it is to leave space for more.

What about today?
Will it slowly fade into the hereafter,
soon to become another yesterday?
Or is there more to be revealed
as the day unfolds and
we will learn invaluable Iife lessons
unknowingly?
What will become of
bygone days, mornings of loneliness,
and the effort expended as we attempt
to heal hardships
or slight misfortunes certain
to stain our memory.
Are we benefactors of our experience,
or victims of the time?
