change

an observation and a prayer

at my table
emptiness beckons
with an unwelcome familiarity
a reminder of how things were
and how they used to be
the way things change
from day to day
daily
considering time
change me
before it is too late

Do not live half a life
and do not die a half death
If you choose silence, then be silent
When you speak, do so until you are finished
If you accept, then express it bluntly
Do not mask it
If you refuse…
