You are allowed to be angry,
even with yourself.
It is how we deal with feelings
not validated or justified.
There is no temporary placement
for all you have observed.

not now
Disappointment comes early
in the day.
Unexpectedly, you might say.
It’s not right, not now, certainly
not in May.
Still, we move on anyway.j.g.l.

maybe
May: the month.
Maybe soon we will know
the temperature and truth
that has avoided us until now.
May sunshine find its way to you
today, and tomorrow too. -
as it happens
Shall we take notice of events not
perceptibly evident amidst daily
crisis or chaos, yet nonetheless as
crucial to maintaining our balance.
Not immediately immeasurable,
growth happens on its own. Yes,
conditions must be favourable, as
permitted, as it happens. It takes
little notice, yet you must. Try.
Details; determination does not
disrupt our days but will heighten
our awareness. Mindfulness ever
isolates intention, however slight.
Evidence always, as if proof.
Growth waits for when the time
is right. Ardent speculation, even
mere anticipation, will not hasten
its pace. Growth will arrive in the
most certain, unpredictable ways.
