2015 – 2025: a decade of days

  • always hoping

    Your behaviours
    guide you. Eventually.
    Patience will take
    commitment, time
    without knowing but
    always hoping for
    better results.
    Your anger will only
    take you so far… your
    commitment will
    see you through.

  • not completed

    Close the notebook
    as you stand up
    from the desk or table
    in the coffee shop.
    The work not completed,
    not yet ready
    to be witnessed.

  • an agenda

    We document, in our journals, things we have done or make lists of what we have to do: it is a plan.
       We all have an agenda.
       A to-do list, either on a scrap of paper, an errant post-it note; a laundry list or even mental notes (often forgotten) seem to make it easier.
       It makes us feel we have a purpose.
       What’s on your list?

  • come daylight

    you must first
    come daylight
    wipe fingerprints
    from your lens
    leftover pain
    from yesterday
    or darker nights
    when you
    had to know
    what time it was
    your vision
    will be clearer
    today

  • today?

    Each day is
    different, yet
    seem similar to
    yesterday or
    another day.
