Poetry 131: New Day

New Day

Sitting on the
middle cushion
of my couch,
I see the sunlight
moving through
the neighbor’s
large oak.

My cat
looks in the same
direction.
Is she
watching the
sunrise too?

The quiet
of dawn
is crisp and
refreshing.

A sort of
resurrection
for the new day-
an offering
of renewal
from the goddess
of time.

Or maybe
it is reincarnation.
A gracious
gift from life
to grow in
wisdom
rather than bake
in our own
regret.

The accountability
is mine.
But how will I begin
again?

Should I leave
my unwanted
baggage
at the airport
terminal
and walk empty
handed onto
the plane?

The light
has already
shifted.
It always does.

But the
back door remains
open.

Will I walk
through?

Will you?

-Me
