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

Making a decision is often difficult.
Living with those decisions is
often difficult as well.

Is this world as fractured
as we are led to believe?
Politically, ideologically,
or spiritually, fault lines
are obvious.
It is not superficial.
Are all thoughts jumbled
or is that just me?
Can we look ahead? Dare we
glance back? What was there?
Is what we see now all
that is worth knowing?
Can we learn more?
Do we want to?
Do we need to?

Mysterious night surrenders
to gentle morning, a shade later
that it has in the recent past.
What was it yesterday
that tomorrow promised
today?
Wasn’t it a better day?
Didn’t I need to hear it then?
Even now I question.
Early now. Collateral damage of
misspent time and yesterday’s ways
still echo, and will
in the days ahead.
What will reveal itself as full
sunlight beckons?
Certainly today there will be
more questions, with answers
arriving later than tomorrow.
