waste a day and wait again with you
after we stay down and don’t forget
sometimes to wait and sit aware while you
take a moment to be
every place you want to see
across the hours
needing just the company of someone who
only wants to sit here
take a minute to do exactly nothing
hope and future having a silent conversation
empty as a pen that doesn’t write anymore
reminded of an empty page on a legal pad
during the time here we
await and are more at a new level of awareness
you finally know just what to say

—–waste another day—

dumb as i feel some days
often that is just a passing thought
mostly just when i need to have confidence
it arrives with a backpack full of worry
nothing can stop me if i don’t want it too
attempt the impossible before i would give up
those goals aren’t going to accomplish themselves
empty nests and wild waves time of year
dedicated to living up to my polar bear family history
strong enough to push through whatever comes my way
yield to no problems and meet head on all objections
storms don’t stop me and no person can either
the inanimate objects even watch out for me around here
end the frustration
make a new resistance
stay true to your story

while a few hours pass
inside, a whole new realization comes in
shifting how a person gets thought about
happy memories tinged with slight regret
enough time will not ever go by
surrounded by what could be of some comfort
until young eyes say goodbye
now that old memories seem like photographs
dim settings seem so very calming
everyone needs silent time sooner or later
like the ones who need extra time to heal
include those you care about in your communication
value what you have when you have it
evoke the best in others by
remembering to be that best version of yourself
equal parts grace and fortitude then
death is not something to be afraid of
