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

We remain limited by the black and white realities of daily existence.
Especially on the mostly grey days of late, we are challenged with thoughts greater than our mental landscape can perceive.
We function (at times marginally), amidst rules, laws, ever-present restrictions and ideological hangups often holding back our technicolor dreams and bold creative intentions.
We seek the colour that doesn’t seem to exist as we struggle through the remaining days of a winter-like spring.
We can only hope, right now, for colour.
As subjective as it is, our view should be more open to interpretation.
Think past the black and white.
It matters.

today’s emotions
unpredictable like the weather
snowflakes dance
amongst a stream of headlights
coming to rest on
last year’s hydrangeas
the crisp damp morning
defies a buoyant mood
and mocks next week’s forecast
spring is meant to
rid our eyes of bleak landscapes
that have captured our imagination
throughout a dirty winter
emotionally fatigued
deliriously disappointed

Tomorrow is a promise,
today had a reason,
while yesterday, in hindsight,
was merely an excuse.
There may be dreams
between the then and now,
take the time to notice.
