The Job

unfulfilled, uninspired - 
a subject to aimless leadership -
feeling bereft of 'enough,'
not knowing - 
not being challenged -
to discover what will fill that void,
unsure of my wants,
secure in my needs,
certain I am missing
a vital puzzle piece of happiness;

maybe this is it,
maybe this is life,
maybe this is just what work is,
I still want to believe
it is something more

Dawn Reveals

sunlight bleeds dawn onto the black night sky,
its light revealing the depth of our wound;

for we are a damaged people
shrouded in the sadness
of our collective hatred
of those things we choose not to understand;

can we heal this open hurt
whose roots are sown so deep?

with the warmth of love
and the gentle patience of time
we have a sliver of hope;

we must cling to it,
nurture it,
help it to grow
that we might realize
a happier dawn
