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

feeling good
I slept in this morning. This is not a regular occurrence but was appreciated. It was not planned. I am well-rested. I am not sure how good my conscience, but I am feeling good today. I slept in.

do you
Do you know
what you are doing?
Are you okay with that?
What are you doing?
Do you know?
Do you care? You must care;
mustn’t you? Are you doing
what you want to do, or doing
what must be done?
It must, mustn’t it?
Do it. Care about it.
What will you do?

paying attention
These days; this time and the moments in-between. It is what it is, yet, sooner than you know will become what it was.
And here we are, suspended in anticipation and not paying attention to all we need to see. It is more than what needs to be, and far less than we notice.
We must become better observers. We are spectators, really, watching life pass us by. Onlookers. Bystanders: some of us more than others.
I’m still not sure if I need to see more or be more.
