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

Winter will not wait
for soft scarves, warm parkas,
or Mom’s hot chocolate.
Mindful of nothing, but itself,
Winter comes as it goes,
as it wants, as it will.
Unexpected, unexcused,
an unrepentant breath leaves
a deep trail of icey footprints
across our psyche. Winter waits
for when we are most vulnerable.
Winter cannot not wait.

I didn’t.
I couldn’t.
I won’t.
These are three fear-based statements
to avoid as we try, as we struggle, as
we persevere and persist on our journey.
At some point, you’ll realize that fears
are so short-sighted and we all need to
keep looking ahead. Maintain the focus.
Move forward. Remind your self what
you did, could, and definitely will do.

Go lightly in your judgment
please, you know less of my
circumstance than I, and
heaven knows I know so
little about my reasons why
and could only use a little
empathy. Nothing is sacred
in this tell-all society and it
is only with reservation that
I pay any attention to what I
hear and believe as I must in
a world that appears to work
well without honesty as far
as I can tell but don’t want
to believe. I want to know.
