we cannot live in hope without reckoning with loss and failure
we hear it even know it but it means something altogether different
to feel it
I stand before the sunrise as if any other day

but today I have nothing to ask wanting only to tell
what it means to face this expanse
alive still this way
I suddenly find myself
