as the day draws to a close
look to myself with a critical eye
feelings sting, still unresolved
intent chosen to ascertain why

renewed a commitment
again and again
trials made me stronger
bolstered my resolve

shadows from the past
sirens from pandora's cube
danger and darkness led
lightless beacon, end of dim tube

karmic twists and turns
intersecting webs of soul
forests and grand trees
impossible to see the whole

and so, as this day
seems to draw to a foggy end
unresolved lessons from afar
pray to god, his angels send

i remind myself in the words that flow:

tomorrow the sparrows will fly
in flight, the new spring will glow
and i, again, will blossom
and i, again, will grow
