Life Balance

One more day
until my life welcomes

Work back in the routine,
the balance re-introduced.

Time to create a life
filled with writing and books,

With some yarn craft
along the way.

Hopefully.

It has been weeks
since I've last visited

My family
in Paterson, and

I'm curious as to
how my grandparents

Are doing, wondering
if my niece

Is having good
school experiences.

In a few days
I will find out

All the answers.

Day After Day

Day after day the thread
is woven with each

Cautious loop and chain,
my hands moving in a pace

To strengthen my wrist,
in order to craft once more,

Each morning the speed
slightly quickens, yet

The need to build my strength
tops quickness, so one day

I can crochet seamlessly
once more.

Nearly a Year

It's been nearly a year.

My creativity only carries

through in small 

passages,

Refusing to go beyond 

a full page.

It could be due to several reasons: 

exhaustion, laziness, disinterest. 

The question hung over me

day after day,

Until last night, while seeking

a poem to share;

A lengthy one, unlike the limitless

short form pieces I keep.

I notice the last time I wrote 

a poem with length 

Was back in August, while 

grieving over my friend's loss. 

Emotions flowed 

over the page that day,

My written words expressing 

the anguish my voice could not.

She always encouraged me 

to create, to write, to share.

Her absence has been felt

each passing day.

I eventually found a piece 

to share last night:

A poem about friendships,

and the sudden shifts in life.

It felt so good to share again.

I feels so good to write again.
