i wish and i hope
and i want and i expect
but reality does not become
any clearer
07/2020:
it turns out that time
plus a big dose of hard work
mixed with some soul searching
provided the clarity i was lacking

07/2020:
it turns out that time
plus a big dose of hard work
mixed with some soul searching
provided the clarity i was lacking
i’ve sat stalled at these tracks
knowing that all I have to do
is put pen to paper
fingers to keys
and the words will just flow out
they’ll cascade around me
rushing and swarming
spilling and spitting
yarning the tale of these past few weeks
of promise
of hope
of deceit
of lies
but most of all of renewal
this is my month to clean
scrape the cobwebs from my mind
fast the sugars from my limbs
absorb the sunshine on my brow
finally sit down in this chair
and write
in the quiet moments when your resolve falters
remember all the times you prevailed over hesitation
take heart in the strength it took you to begin this journey
rest for a little in self-gratitude before continuing on
