Is it wind
window or rattle 
that keeps knocking 
sometimes it’s rain
or even sleet 
that keeps me 
awake but it
is never snow 
for snow knows
that sleep betters
under the blanket 
of winter white

The day starts 
at my door 
its pale light 
slowly sheds white 
and turns blue 
the bathroom window 
faces due east 
and the day
breaks first there
its early azure 

By my not 
whether it’s meeting 
or even doing 
no longer means 
or either makes 
for being alone 
releases me from 
the obligation and 
from the discomfort 
of things broken 

Discipline is not 
following someone else’s 
orders but rather 
finding your own 
and walking them 
for the path
brings you happiness
