I'm like a pencil;
sometimes sharp,
most days
well-rounded,
other times
dull or
occasionally
broken.
Still I write.

If the first meal of the day
is the most important,
so too shouldn’t be
your first thought?
We wake, come alive
to a new day, refreshed.
Fresh.
The mind springs
from unconsciousness,
breaking free of dreams
and the complex thought
it has toiled with
through the night.
As you slip
from dormancy to reality,
after you clear away
the residue of all
the nocturnal clutter,
what thought
remains standing?
The unconscious mind
is often better able
to resolve
life’s complications
outside
of one’s awareness.
Now, mindful
of what needs
to be addressed,
how will you
proceed with the day?
And how
will you make today
better
than the day before?
j.g.l.
If last night
was the way
it was meant to be,
are you
content? Could you
hear yourself trying
to breath?
Were you restless
or questioning all you
should be?
Are you happy
with your answers, is
there still room
for dreams?
Or were you wondering
and wanting?
Do you know
what I mean?
Was last night the way
you thought it
would be?
j.g.l.
