glimmer

and if i find that there's
still fight left in me
i can't conscionably just
roll over and die
and if i find something in me
that believes i can move up and on
then why waste time asking
why these things are the way they are
and begin again to make home the moment
and in turn make the moment something worth
living in

begin to believe in something more
than the certainty that something
was stolen from me
and if i find that the fire in me
can consume something other than
rage
i would rather it be sustained
on that something other

through eyes
only
half awake
i see a
glimmer

"then why waste time asking why these things are the way they are"...I feel you there...things are as they are the world over. The only variable under our control is ourselves...

The fire in us is fed by a sense of injustice and entitlement and, whatever else, but, in the end, the fire is just a rebellion against the way things are and the way they will, by all evidence, always be.

The only variable in the equation is ourselves and how we will adjust ourselves (or not) to fit into the process... Ciao, T/S

that was breathtaking...i love when there's a grain of hope, especially when it's hidden until the end...lovely.
