Today the clouds move slowly, north to south,

A pale blue sky provides the background,

I struggle to find my place today-where do I begin?

What is my purpose?

I feel the need to connect to something, no breeze moves me.

Do we reach a point, is there a moment when we know our work

has been completed?

Are we overtaken by peace, but unfamiliar with the feeling?

Do our souls know the truth but our mind hangs on wanting more-

Still hoping for necessity.

Is today the day I stop using caffeine to fuel my ambition?

Is it the day I stop the heart medication that adds more days?

Is today the day I start living the words I’ve written,

Quiet acceptance, peaceful ways.

I could never leave, it would be too sad, I will have to be taken.
