I'm not one who journals her
daily thoughts,
another place would tell of bare instances,
about insights gained from symbols in dreams,
the fault in our stars, living and contriving.
Each plight brings practicable explanations,
provident planning, the difference it makes
to declutter, the truth about multi-tasking,
a composed mind, an opulence of patience,
bestow the utmost in you,
this flower, this beauty, another nascence,
the blue period between silent, pre-dawn light,
river descriptions, your problem as a mountain,
how best to comprehend time, hold dear silence,
to continue worldly themes,
the mad pulse of someone's net loyalty, stopped,
knowing all along, your niche is, wherever you are.
