THE DAY AFTER

The day after,

you do what you didn’t want to do,

you say the wrong thing,

you miss the opportunity,

could be a day for

regret,

shame,

hiding.

 

If this is what you choose,

the day becomes

lost.

 

And it’s easier for

the day after the lost day

to become lost as well.

 

And soon all days are lost

in regret,

shame,

hiding.

 

The day after

you do what you didn’t want to do,

you say the wrong thing,

you miss the opportunity,

could also be a day for

showing up,

seeking your best work,

grace.


Your choice.
