Days, weeks, then months
and years drift by.
Not always noticeable, or even
memorable, the time behind us
simply accumulates. All in all,
the sum of its parts leads to
a life well-lived, if you take
a moment to notice.

Mondays are just young Fridays
It’s not about height
or breadth, or depth.
It is all about perspective.
What limits you?
How far can you see?
To what end do you
appreciate what is in front of you?
Looking back is hindsight
and you have already been there.
Change your point of view.
Look up.
Don’t overlook opportunities.
What are your limits?

Secrets are rarely as heavy as
the weight we assign to them.
The gravity of circumspect
plays out, time and again. It is
what we carry as we decide
what crosses, or is held within,
our moral divide.
Sit with it for a while, moved
only when memory comes into
play; last night, or the other, or
any other day.

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

The inner voice,
an inner choice
to hear what matters
amid the distractions and
less-than-intimate interactions
life lays out
before you.
Suffering the indignity of
less space to feel or see,
you know you must
keep moving forward.
Surrounded by noise, day
after day, you continue
trying to listen
or
wanting to say
all of those thoughts, and
words stuck in your soul.
Own your emotions.
In a world full of shouting
Sometimes
a whisper will find its way.
