Not Today - a poem - 12 30 2024

 

Not Today


The uncertainty of my steps

Echoes the heaviness of my spirit

The future seems like a darkening tunnel

Closing in with no end and no light

 

Then a stranger says "Merry Christmas"

Another lights a candle and welcomes her family

We celebrate what was and what may have been

With horns and champagne we anticipate a new year

 

The morning rain creates a rainbow

The air is fragrant and wet with hope

Birds stop and feed on their way to a better place

Some days I long to join them, not today
