Somedays

Somedays I feel the wind blowing
For myself
And those I love

Its comfort
Its wisdom
Its safety and peace

Its promise that life
Is worth living

Somedays the sun fills me
With courage to move towards
A destination
An end
A place of rest

Somedays the wind is blowing
And the sun is shining

And it takes everything I have
To get out of bed

On those days I'd rather be
Anyone else
Besides this breathing raw nerve
Overexposed
To the blowing wind
The shining sun
To the music in my head
That soaks me
Like a wrung out sponge
In waves
Of Right and Wrong
And the knowledge that
Everything matters
