THE DAYS

i haven't been blogging
because i'm tired of analyzing my life

i haven't been blogging
because this move has taken an enormous emotional toll

i haven't been blogging
because i work at a job that i am uninterested in

i haven't been blogging
because i feel i have nothing left to say

************************************

the whole world is spinning out of control
and i'm unable to open a newspaper

my future is headed nowhere fast
and i can't lift my arms to shift the gears

************************************

there are times in our lives that bring great change
landmark moments
movements
memories

and then there are times like these

THE DAYS

that come and go with little purpose

sensation
a task accomplished
money earned
or the completion of a chore

but they come and go
with little purpose

************************************

lately i've dreamed of relocating to london
or finding myself suddenly on the west coast

but movement alters very little i have found

the scenery's different
yet the emptiness remains

no
no movement just yet

for internal change
i am hoping
can come from staying put.
