Something About Some Days


Some days, the pain of loneliness can be
overwhelming. Ever felt way out there,
lost in space? Happens to the best of us
at times, I know.

Some days, feeling grubby, nasty and
unfit, you just want to be left alone. Pity,
pity, poor me. I have done this to myself,
you will agree.

Some days, the sunshine and birdsong
are enough to inspire and move you along.
But the loss comes when stagnation and
feelings of worthlessness set in.

Some days, the essence of the soul seems
distant as Pluto, a dwarf planet, cold, rocky
and desolate, cast in the dim light of a far
flung sun, some 3.6 billion miles away.

Some days, unexpectedly, New Horizons,
a gift from Earth passes nearby and waves,
Hello, Pluto! Seems this took years in the
making. And out of the darkness, a better
day suddenly appears.

Some days we find the strength to go on
in synchronous harmony with the rest of
Life as we know it, orbiting in our place
merrily around the sun.

It is then you realize there is still a ray of
hope some days. It is on its way, my friend.
Wait for it!..Wait for It!...
