Sometimes
You have such lucidity that people are jaw-dropped in awe
Other times
Even with 20/20 you can’t see what’s in front of you
Sometimes
You’re the strongest person, everybody’s Rock of Gibraltar
Other times
Fear has its way with you and you can’t shake off the shakes
Sometimes
Your memory kaleidoscope is your delight
Other times
Your memory kaleidoscope is your undoing
Sometimes
You breathe in and out mindfully and smile
Other times
You gasp in and scream out long and loud
Sometimes
“Please, don’t say anything”
Other times
“Call me, and talk to me for an hour”
Sometimes
You realize you’re not in agony and how odd that is
Other times
Desperation is as routine and on time as three meals a day
Sometimes
On a long run you feel like you’re 21 again
Other times
Your heart’s not into it and you hobble home
Sometimes
You appreciate every kind note that comes your way
Other times
You plan a massive bonfire of all those sympathy cards
