stitch and patch
Are you discarding things too quickly these days?
dirty heel
sock with a hole
sees the world
…
just maybe
we’ve become
too accustomed
to throwing things
away before
we realize that they
could’ve been salvage
count to ten
Where is your focus going towards?
glass vials
a sea of red
fills the room
…
more often
than not
if we focus
our minds on something
the more we
will think less
of something else
runnin'-out
Are you ahead or behind on your projects?
cutting onions
another mountain
surfaces
…
of time
is only one
part of
the equation
when we have
so much
to do
reflection
What does your reflection show you?
trophy
shinning with
fingerprints
…
to look
at ourselves
is to look at
not only
what is shown
on the outside
but the inside
picky picky
Are you a picky eater?
cooked broccoli
the forest steams
after rain showers
…
sometimes
the things
we grew up
not liking
will slowly
grow on us
to try again
weather the storm
Are you standing tall?
twirling
a pile of leaves
meets fallen snow
…
the leaves
may fly away
the branches
may sway
and yet
our tree
still stands
look it over
What are you analyzing right now?
cold beginnings
a few stones
on the ice
…
from top to bottom
to side to side
the more time
we spend looking
at a list, piece of art
or frankly anything
the more we will find
look don't touch
Do you let your subconscious win?
fish bowl
the glass reveals
another kingdom
…
saying it
is one thing
actually doing
and abiding by it
is entirely different
when we can’t resist
our thoughts and temptations
back to back
What would repeating wins mean to you?
realizing
the rain will
come again
…
so many
different factors
come into play
for us to be able
to achieve the same
feat or accomplishment
made this year and next year
reload, refill, restock
What container are you refilling?
knitting kit
grandmother’s hands
reach for read thread
…
the cardboard box
the coffee cup
the closet cubes
are all just containers
for us to fill up
tape, sip, or zip
then empty again
