Choice

Awaken

Against the fury of time.

Morning, flooding into the thoughts of my mind.

I tip and waver in the cracking of conscience,

Responding, revolting against the urging of the day.

Then slowly and fully shafts of light pierce the gray.

I shift and shadows become reflections

As planetary night falls into remission

And the clouds around me give way as

I draw breath to proclaim to myself that today

I choose

Joy.
