it must be observed
to be felt
uncertain arrival
you do not notice
until you do
infrequently unfortunately
tucked into the chaos
and global squalor
it comes to you
from time to time
often when
you need it the most
remind yourself
peace is important
acknowledge what you can
when you can
however you can
reposition your
disposition

Do I become dissatisfied or disappointed too easily?
Am I disrespecting others, or my self, in doing so?
Healing takes time and I’ve got to abide, if not provide, patience.
I am trying to be more open to the entire concept of patience, mostly my own scattered thoughts, inconsistent will, and restlessness beyond the hours and days.
Time is more finite than flexible.
I am learning as I heal, but still hurting as I feel my dissatisfaction.

past the façade
there are tones and textures
beneath the surface
each of us
everything is a
rhythm of time
a reflection of life
until now
it doesn’t have to be complex
look deeper
at what is there
you might be surprised

We all forget, sometimes,
to care for the one person
who shows up day after day.
In all the confusion we
overlook what matters.
All too often we get so
caught up in the actions and
emotions of those around us,
that we neglect to check in
with our self.
Try harder today to please
yourself. You deserve better
than what you have been
allowing. Be kind. You matter.
