Worry

an hourglass
emptying of sand
keeps time

how much is lost
in paralyzing worry

over those things
beyond our control

Attempt

lurking
at the edge
of vision,
dancing
in the shadows
of the mind

a muse
a chance

I chased
        darting
dashing

fatigued

better
for having dared

Honor

sun rises and sets
time dies daily a hard death;
              do you honor it
