Today
Reluctantly I soar
Thru more valleys than hills
And emotional spills
To the now from then
And sometimes I win
But I hesitate
Taking a close look at fate
Be it blessing or curse
I understand
That’s why I’m not a fan
Of yesterday or today
Evanescence at play
Fears in my way
What will I experience
If I try
Disappointment, delusion
Chaotic confusion
Detached depression
I guess this confession
Means I’m awake once more
Reluctantly I soar
To spiritual heights
Taken in sound bytes
That heighten my awareness
Of the selfish and careless
The injustice perpetrated
On those that are motivated
By mildness and goodness
Maybe we all should just
Throw in the towel
Then walk away with a smile
Tell evil
Your people
Just won
Reluctantly I soar
Past all the distraction
From love and compassion
I am pure empathy
Find your pain in me
Your trials and tribulations
Your loses or vexations
Your down and outs
Your uncontrolled bouts
With stress and strife
From living a day to day life
I am a beacon in the night
A glove in the fight
A board for sounding
A corner for rounding
A positive word well timed
I also pull coats in this rhyme
If nobody said “I love you”
Then I do
If nobody said “I need you”
Then I do
Help me stay on the saddle
As I ride into battle
Five a.m. eyes awakened once more
Today reluctantly I soar
