Cannon Beach, OR - Oct 2023

Senseless

We must have lost our ears to hear 
such sounds and wake up 
    another day 
saying the same words as the day before
while somehow [and also] misplacing our eyes
which are, to be fair, borrowed and used
to the dark by now.

Our senses make no sense to us; 
this current state 
   has turned
its back on our former state
when we lived within the generous benefit 
of our doubts; when [even then] we
could crush our brokenness into brilliance. 

Whether the week left you Stirred, or Shaken, I appreciate you reading this post.
