The other side of the shadow is
softer than before.
Daylight growing stronger, soon to
be much more.
Frustrations felt just yesterday
may fade throughout today.
You, only you, will approach them
as you try to make your way.

procrastination
One month into this new year, and still I have not settled into all I had intended to do.
Sure, there has been all that snow and the disparaging cold, and I’ve managed to keep moving through it all. Yet, my to-do list has yet to be tackled.
I can only call it procrastination.
I have plans to complete certain things this year (a goal more than an intention), and already a month has passed. That gives me far less time; February is already a shorter month than most.
Certainly, it is now time to get going before March comes along.

a true lesson
Each season of our precious life will undoubtedly reveal an invaluable lesson, but none more sacred or endearing than the season before, or the year before that.
I believe it takes time
Good fortunes may not always be what present themselves at the time and may, in fact, take cumulative years or seasons to present a true lesson.
Knowledge can be learned.

come daylight
you must first
come daylight
wipe fingerprints
from your lens
leftover pain
from yesterday
or darker nights
when you
had to know
what time it was
your vision
will be clearer
