Shifting Life's Gears

In the bus on the ferry October, 2017
My thoughts are scattered
tamping them down
trying to see a pattern
that shows direction
without success
it seemed that
only for a moment 
there was purpose
before me that drove me forward
each day with hope and excitement.
My mind reviews
all the misdirection
all of the lacks I failed to recognize
all of the needs that were needed
all that I have gained and maintained
and yet
there is more to come
that has no shape or pattern
to the direction in tomorrow
the hope and excitement to come
while I feel
like I am forever shifting gears.

“You should always know when you’re shifting gears in life. 
You should leave your era; it should  never leave you.”
~ Leontyne Price
