One Day at a Time

The pounding has slowed,
though the beat is still strong.
The winds have died down,
but I'm where I belong
in the midst of it all,
in this tangle of old
where the color of blue
still has me in hold.

I march to the rhythm
that paints me this way,
afraid of the peeling
of layers to gray
where beneath rise the tears
that cling to the known.
Here with my yesterday thoughts
all alone.

So, I say to myself,
"It's one day at a time"
in the candle light shadows
between words of rhyme.
In the depth of my heart,
in the eyes that see true,
"It's one day at a time"
that will help get me through.

fine personal, emotive 'write!'

I am especially fond of:

“in the midst of it all,
in this tangle of old
where the color of blue
still has me in hold…”

…afraid of the peeling
of layers to gray
where beneath rise the tears
that cling to the known.

Here with my yesterday thoughts
all alone.”

AND, the ending:

“It's one day at a time"
in the candle light shadows
between words of rhyme.
In the depth of my heart,
in the eyes that see true,
"It's one day at a time"
that will help me through(!)”

Applause!!

You and I, both, my friend! That is about all we can do, is take one day at a time.

Intense write with a nice positive ending.

One day at a time works for me, M-Lady! Wish I had more time to spend here in the blue though. *hugs*.....jo
