Another Day To Begin Again

Monday is another day

But so is Tuesday and Wednesday

How about Thursday

Then again, there’s always Friday

The weekend is here

Maybe it’s supposed to be at week’s end, Saturday

or at the beginning on a Sunday

back to Monday

mid-week Wednesday

the day of the week, not even the hour, matters

Because nobody is promised the next day

Nobody is promised next few seconds

Every Day is another Day

To Begin Again

Morning Things

With the morning dew

I rise

thankful for each breath, each sight, each scent

The fact that I can move my limbs

enunciate thankful musical hymns

Simple things my younger self depreciated

Simple things my older self appreciates

The Power of a Touch

Caress that heals

Touch that peels

Years of sanity

Dumped to the abyss

Empty valleys

Decaying myths

One touch can soothe

One-touch pruning off our core

wasted adorn

For one touch can build

One touch can demolish

Caress that remodels

Embrace that rebottles

One must be mindful

The power of connection

Mirage or Fulfilled embrace

Until When

When the weather is dry

We want rain

When the rain comes

We want dry land

When the snow forms

We want sunlight

When the sun heats up

We want cooler weather

When our hair curls

We want straight strands

When is a guaranteed change

Nothing is ever the same

The pause to be thankful and be

Becomes the only constant

Until When

Forever The Illusionist

The illusionist Forever

hiding behind the mask of memories

deep in the crevices of brain matter

flowing through each neuron, flowing water

Breathing through each dermal pore

delusional parasite in the womb of its host

Nothing lasts forever

not your worries, not your fears

not your joys, or your good fortunes

not your tragedies, or your sorrows

not your best moments, not even your life

Forever the Mascaraed

Forever The Illusionist

The New Beginning

The struggles are real

The battles of fear

In the darkest of moments

Blurry components

Blinders in chaos

Spares no opponents

Yet karma doesn’t always deliver

Because sometimes

in those moments

Moving in grace

through that critical space

is the new beginning

awaited deliverance

Life the guaranteed setback

Three steps forward

two steps back

a child is birthed

only to mourn

the unfairness of life

grief’s warranty

Four steps forward

three steps back

loss is a given

trial and error

trial and loss

loss after loss

three steps forward

two steps back

wounded and jaded

weakness has faded

only to be seen at times

in the sea saw called life

the timing is never quite right

never quite ready

yet somehow, eventually

we strive to arrive

stepping forward and back

What is Without?

What is joy without a teardrop?

What is life without death?

What is happiness without sadness?

What is trust without deceit?

What is honor without disgrace?

What is trust without jealousy?

What is confidence without insecurities?

What is calm without chaos?

What is wisdom without folly?

What is strength without weakness?

What is Love without Hate?

What is perfection without mistakes?

What are good deeds without sin?

Perhaps simply just another unfelt blank space

Faith’s Embrace

Sometimes Faith

Is all that holds me

When despair knocks at my door

Anxiety burdens my core

Overwhelm beckons my soul

Inability drowns my existence

Sometimes

In those moments

Life the enforcer

Pushing us to pause

The unknown is the abyss

But the unseen becomes wings

Parallel opponents

Synchronized components

Cyclical Muse

That carries me over

One more day

I Believe
