and on this particular day –
in – just this same spot –
you –
i –
did engage in life;
day,
sun,
moon,
dawn – all shared experiences –
beneath the same sky…

holding here –
in these trembling hands –
(insecure most definitely wins over self-control),
all of the nothing,
even remotely – un-acceptable gift –
(when all you have to offer is less than sky,
too faint for blue…)

i have found –
over time –
that life – my life –
is not defined by the things that happen to me –
but more,
how i react to them.

i take a moment –
today –
wrap my brain around the inevitable truth:
life (the process),
is (unequivocally),
most –
awesome!
(there shall be no compromise!).
