Again vs. Potential

...and here i am again

Another day. Another man.

So slight the change

Perhaps a fraction greater

Just a little. Just the same.

I witness the world

Victim of Time's hand

Routinely set on familiar habits

Only they withstand change.

Benefit or hindrance

Matters only acts command

I have been and witnessed

Wished for and regretted

Done so very little

In this the grander plan

And right here? This instance?

In a dark room sitting

As if light might ruin

Again i sit.. still a representation

A pattern. A lesson.

Of no real note or significance

Simply a soul. Older than seconds.

Witnessing the moment.

Alone in silent stillness.

Knowing deep within there lives

A host of possible results

If only i would own the course

Set to motion the direction needed

...and here i sit. Again.
