Sometimes

Sometimes It feels
Like Time Stopped
Somewhere about 
A Year Ago ...

Sometimes it feels
like None of This
Really Ever Happened ...

But I Know Better
Than that
Because Everything that I do
Feels so Brand New.

But still, I can't Shake this Feeling
That if I closed My eyes
I could Open them Slowly
And wake and Kiss
Good morning
the Day
When I took a new footpath.

And I Wonder:
'Would Yesterday's Coffee
really been that bad?
Could I have made a new Cup
Without Throwing out the Pot?'

When I stop and think About
How Far I've come
And How,
Although not perfect
or how I quite want it To Be,
My Life is lived for Me now;
The way I See Fit.
And That is Worth Getting Up for
This Morning.

And Besides,
that Pot was Ruined
The Coffee that Was left
Had a Film of Mold Growing Cold.
And It Had to be Trashed.

And I don't Regret taking that path
(although, I could have Left a Note)
But Sometimes,
like today,
It seems Like
That None of this Really Happened.

Sometimes.
