There is slumber in my words, and sleep in my thoughts.

I question all the good intent and wonder about the loss.

A new year’s path has made its way into my morning light.

After I wake in meditation from last night.

I listen to the distant dog bark without regard today.

I stop for a moment before I leave and think of what to say.

To friends who see a dismal world and look out to blame.

And others who are unaware and continue the same.

I tie my shoes in celebrate, the life I do not understand.

I am a wonder as I go on and grateful where stand.
