…so what do i do now?
sunrise, i’ll set it into motion,
pick up right where i left off.
i’ll make up for all the time i’ve lost.
okay. maybe not.
daybreak, i’ll make amends
for yesterday’s twenty four failed attempts.
now i’m afraid i’ll lose my way
before another day ends.
today, i’ll survive.
tomorrow, i’ll make sense of my life.
it’s just a matter of time.
our stories will keep us alive.
it’s just a matter of time.
midday, i’ve grown a little restless.
i set sail, searching for more.
but the strength of the sea
is tamed by the shore.
someday, we’ll build a lighthouse.
our sacred ground will cast out any doubt.
we’ll feel so sure about our place in this mystery.
God knows, i’ll need guarantees,
certain certainties
and concrete science.
please, uncover my eyes.
as the future unfolds.
it’s getting late, i’m losing heart.
maps are useless in the dark.
new lines on my face
honor every step of the way.
no blade of grass is out of place.
sunset, it dawns on me.
maybe it’s all necessary;
the holding on, the letting go..
now take a deep breath.
let’s get some rest.
