a new day

today i am thinking about boundaries...
and all the spaces in between.
today i am thinking about what i want...
and what i am prepared to accept.


today i am seeing there are prices too high to pay...
and returns too low to warrant the cost.
today i am seeing how big things can shrink to small...
and how small things become epic.


today i am hearing a small voice calling out...
and the roar that threatens to silence it.
today i am hearing the song of angels...
through the drone  of disbelief.


today i am feeling my childhood slip away...
yet the girl of eight clings tightly to my skin.
today i am feeling my faith fade...
while hope lingers on.


and tomorrow is a new day...
