What of today, tomorrow
or next week?
What about the weary,
the impoverished, and the meek?
What becomes the answer or
the validation that you seek?

Daylight slipping through the cracks
above the curtains, a reminder of
what kind of day it will be
if you choose to let it in.
The comfort of the night, once
concealed in total darkness, now
only a recent memory.
Your circadian rhythm is already
functioning on its own.
It’s only natural. It is what it is,
any day but specifically today.
Today matters.
Dreams now safely tucked away,
what will you do with the day?
