more difficult to keep one dozen small promises than it is to keep One Big promise;

no guilt is felt when rationalizing the dissonance of most small things…

More difficult still, it is, to keep One small promise one thousand times, or over a lifetime;

no one is a saint, we normalize, and we learn to standardize forgiveness…

It is…

difficult to focus on a dream and feel the life of it before it is even born;

More difficult still, it is, to simply dream

when reality is lived in engulfing technicolor

and dreams are gray-scaled amorphous things lacking handles for a good grip.

…

One seed holds promises of greatness,

yet thousands of seeds go permanently dormant and we don’t even think this tragic.

I’m in a mood again tonight,

I’m restless

pulled by two conflicting dreams

paralyzed between old flight and new stability.

I’m in this mood still tonight,

grounded in disquietude

standing in instability like a trigger waiting,

like a trigger in waiting
