Paradoxical

Once, with confidence,
stated my name –
clarity claiming
wisdom as mine

Today, sun burns,
accusing-bright,
I avoid conversation
question what is sane

This paradoxical state
of fluctuation, is it right,
and who among us is steady
enough to know for certain?

Permission to write, paint, and imagine are the gifts I gave myself when chronic illness hit - a fair exchange: being for doing. Relevance is an attitude. Humour essential.

  1. This time of year change seems especially noticeable. Yesterday I noticed that the dogwood has lost almost all its leaves and just last week I was commenting on the depth of its color. I liked the ending of the poem, and I would say no one could be so steady.
