Stupid
Towards the end of the day.
Yesterday I did a stupid thing.
After writing about kindness and softness,
my attitude hardened.
In a moment of fearful doubt.
The lights went out and I thrashed around in the dark.
Knocked up against something precious.
Easily done.
The human-made world is pressing hard upon us.
But what matters more than the people we are with?
The earth that cradles us?
The moments we share.
Are the prize.
It pays us when we forget.
In pain.
And remembrance.
I’ll not be so quick to anger,
Next time.
Till tomorrow
Love
Mikey
