To daydream of change
yet cower at the face of
real-time opportunity for such
casts a spotlight on the answer
you knew all along.
You cannot fool the heart
when its true desires are known.
Rather, cast doubt upon
the mind’s meanderings
for that is where
the cloaked deceptions reside.

One step
One step at a time
seems like good advice to follow
especially when the direction is not
specified.
Take one step at a time
forward, backward or sideways
as you need,
but only one at a time.
September
Where the dry, humid, sweat-provoking
heat once rested upon my skin,
a new, cool air rests instead,
dancing along the hairs extended
from their follicular homes.
The world feels different;
calm, soft,
gently braving us for the changes
waiting ahead.
Night lives longer
trees change color
the sun rests more.
The world shifts
as do I
to enter the warm, welcoming embrace
of September.
