I take in the day
like an elixir
swallowing hard
as it both gives
and takes away
It slows the disease
of indifference
yet adds to the baggage
my mind seems to hoard
like an old fool and his guns
waiting to shoot into the distance
but the time never arrives
you see complacency never pulls the trigger
yet neither does courage
there is a progression in the daring of bravery
but that same force also holds a stillness
a silent strength and knowing
that where one stands is destiny
butterflies know that strength
they do not contemplate yesterday
nor analyze what tomorrow holds
unaware of the confines of time
they linger in the moment
and there they truly live.
