a daily breath...

A thought du jour, my daily breath includes collected and conceived observations, questions of life, fortune cookie philosophies, reminders, messages of peace and simplicity, unsolicited advice, inspirations, quotes and words that got me thinking. They may get you thinking too . . .

Mondays are just young Fridays

What are a few days between seasons? As if a shadow could tell of the time and temperature range from hour to day, today or tomorrow, or last season.
   Summer to fall. Now is not a fixed period, as was yesterday or last week. Those periods of time are fluid, ever changing, but still somewhat definite in our minds for the time being representing the periods or eras of our presence here on earth.
   How we measure our time, any time, always includes a proviso. The conditions we set will influence what is to come, as much as what has happened.
   How can you explain yourself when a short-term view overrides the obvious long-term accumulation of thought and experience.
   This time is yours; how you chose to share it will differ from day to day.

You wander.
We all do.

Uncertainty can often
blur your surroundings.

Unclear.

The map is always there,
the lines signify the path
you need to follow.

You simply have to find
the direction.

It is all in your hands.

               Anguish or confusion, 
        sometimes it is the way. 
      Anxiety takes over. 
        What else can you say  
     as you try to put aside all 
     the feelings that dog you 
   anyway.    No pain today.  
           Try as you might to
    see your way through. 
       No pain.    Not today.

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

wait

Dawn will come, it always does.

It may take a little longer, depending on your mood.
It might not be as bright as expected, but few of us are.

It will last such a brief moment.

Dawn is like that.

You may have to wait through the darkness for some time,
full daylight arrives, except soon the moment will disappear.

So much left unsaid.

So little to say for yourself.

It comes without thinking, yet
there is so much anticipation.

Dawn appears just like that.

You have waited long enough.

A poignant and reflective poem that beautifully captures the essence of dawn as a metaphor for hope, resilience, and the passage of time. The imagery and emotions evoke a profound sense of introspection. Well-crafted. 🌅🌌🕊️✨
