Step by step throughout the day,
later today than most. Same direction
or another way to a familiar place.
Not always predictable, where you go
is not always where you will stay.
How do you know where you will
end up when it is not always the same?
At least, not today.

We all spend our time on this planet going about our daily business, dealing with both happiness and sorrow as it comes at us, reacting to whatever comes our way in a manner that is within our grasp.
We also spend a great deal of time waiting.
We wait for our hard work to pay off, waiting for something to happen, waiting for our morning coffee, another chance or, perhaps, even waiting for a miracle.
But while we wait, we must continue, one step at a time, making this journey as enjoyable as we can.
We cannot simply wait for a miracle or wait for joy and happiness.
We must make it happen, for then it truly is a miracle.

An accident. A messy mistake
that gets in the way of what
you intended to do.
A spill, unintended and so
unnecessary, unwanted at a
time you needed to really get
something done.
Mishaps sink into the paper
and, further, into your psyche.
Now you have to wait and
who has time for that?
The page will dry, but will
it ever be the same?

Calendar pages flip from one
month to the next. The year
comes closer to the edge.
Time lasts only long enough
to be treasured, but will expire
as it always does. October is
a month to be appreciated.
The colours of the season will
only last so long. Autumn is
like that, so much so that you
forget summer was even here.

Beyond the sky,
behind your eyes, only
for a time.
Will you recognize
what has to be done
and why?
Keep looking, hard and fast,
don’t let inspiration
pass you by.
