Now that
I am
finally humming
right along
having done
what needed
to be
we can
focus on
you making
us better
now it’s
your turn
to rise
and shine
and mine
to cheer
Month: July 2024
Game
And there
it is
the beacon
the one
lonely dot
of day
reflecting off
of some
window faraway
saying here
I am
hello and
I act
like I
always do
surprised by
this game
of hide
and seek
with dawn
Ring
We have
wanted to
for years
to wear
a silent
bell saying
this is
what we’re
and finally
after all
of that
on they
go quietly
whispering to
others see
Open
There is much
I don’t know
I never pretend
that I do
I am vulnerable
and I’m exposed
to jeers and
taunts from those
thinking they do
but arrogance has
a very ugly
underbelly teeming with
hatefully mean bile
interesting how insecurity
keeps one apart
from the rest
who humbly admit
that they don’t
Last
It is
easy to
be when
one is
first but
when one
is last
the grace
of being
there is
one’s only
reward for
last is
the only
place for
the love
of loneliness
