A penny in a pond




Nobody is good enough anymore,

Everything is better than ever before.


This precious moment does not last

this is why we live in the past-

it is all we know

about where not to go.


We only truly learn

the hard way

We earn

every scar, 

and the right to say

Not today.


Nobody is without destiny

Everything else is merely amenity.


A choice,

a sound, a voice

that once resonated

in the cool damp dawn

now dissipated

after so many new moons,

long gone. 


Something inside you has grown-

You were always on your own-


We should get to know

our own shadow

when the sun is out

casting doubt.
