Shadows
Early in the morning it’s  bright
Making me feel upright
The day progresses
The shadow now short and stout
Reminding me that the Sun is mighty and I must crouch
Evenings are pleasant, the shadow tall and exploring
Expelling any kinds of self doubt
Never ever leaving
Except in the dark

Eternal sunset
not quite night
no longer day

Is this how life shall stay?

Orange to red
then pink to gray
the outside elements have gone away

There's a closed sign on tomorrow

Hours continuously rotate
around what's breaking
be it the news or someone's will

The woman on the street
Up and early, she sweeps
The litter off the concrete
A job to keep

Through the window
A world slows down, not sleeps
No traffic snarls, on the highways
The signal silently beeps

World at the moment, changing
Good and bad, the exposed pieces
In Unity and humanity, there is hope
Together, for the world to live in peace

Your thoughts and words

You think they are yours

But once public

You never know

Where they go

Credited or not

I set them free

As I was once told

By a wise man

Who sure has seen it all

Wisdom gathered over the years

An ocean to swim

An ocean to fill

Courage

To spill

Mind

You

The signs read

Misinterpreted

In depth

Rarely read

The mind, minds no sets

Racing thoughts

The game

The heart all set

Changing mindsets
