maybe the secret . is learning how to exist . alone together
a quiet moment . amid the chaos, allows . for true reflection
as the year winds down . we hope next year is better . without much effort
there are odd moments . of clarity that seem to . make things less certain
what we leave behind . is what will tell the story . our posterity
if the conditions . do not favor growth, the tree . waits until they do
most of us prefer . to be left alone, but not . stuck sitting alone
there are some mornings . when we can sit quietly . with nothing to say
a bright sunny day . doesn’t tell the whole story . of what is in store
it isn’t often . that we see a vantage point . other than our own
