Back to Square One?


I've lost my place
in an order 
carefully constructed
on a sandy foundation.

Crumbled routine from
inattention to detail
the cause and now
the reason for renewal.

Returning to square one
I stand still slowly
while my eyes adjust to
this new darkness.

Recalling details,
rebuilding from chaos
square one looked different
blank and bleak.

Adjusting my vision,
review of so much
learned in this journey
while risking new challenges.

The number of the square?
After square one and all of the challenges,
there is no number.
Numbers and squares limit the sky.

"You start making progress in life when you realize that 
you don't always have to resume where you left off."
