In Response to Photo Prompt by Jim Reeves in
Hopes and Dreams for Our Future
Daybreak -
A fresh start
Or not.
Another day
Dragging forward
Yesterday
And all the days before —
Calendar baggage
Weighing down shoulders,
Burdening souls —
Problems not erased
By another rotation.
What can be done
When your spirit
Breaks
As the day
Breaks?
When each
Day is like
The others?
Take a problem,
Any problem,
From yesterday
Or the distant past —
Fix it today
If you can —
Solve it today
If possible.
Take steps,
Baby or giant,
To solutions,
Resolutions,
Compromises,
Completions.
And do the same tomorrow.
If not, let it go —
Like the darkness
Evaporating
In the daybreak.
Some things cannot be
Solved
Or
Resolved —
Some just
Are
Until
You
Choose
They won’t be
Anymore.
Then they
Dissolve
Like night
At daybreak.
