We can’t take back days we
deny ourselves the courage
to rise above ailments that
have persisted for too long
a time.
Nestled only in memory, only
our perception will allow a
greater vista than what we
have experienced.
Can we write about the past
in present tense, overlooking
our faults and frailties?
When does it become fiction,
and when will we realize
its inaccuracy?

Trust what you must, but
be wary of your volition.
Things are rarely as
they appear.
Yield to your intuition.
Your choices.
You must. Trust.
Instinct.

Nights arrive earlier.
Darkness is thicker: longer.
You have to look further to
find the light. It is there,
just not as it was.
Is anything ever as it was?

Go slowly.
Smile.
Take the time to do
what you need to do,
to do what
you want to do.
Take the time.
Go slowly.
Breathe, then see
what happens then.

Why couldn’t
it look different?
Why shouldn’t
it look different?
If I want change,
shouldn’t it be different?
I’ve seen it in my head,
why not in front of me?
Will I notice
the difference?
