Relative Something

.
little teeny possibilities
dance around in plain sight
beneath our meandering gaze
tasks that don’t just happen
like some magical spell
but tough jobs
that require hard work
solutions ingeniously imagined
and deftly applied
sure the magic does happen
but with sweat
and hours
of tireless repetition
wrangling magical outcomes
out of the wispy thin air

.

.

In a blink of our eyes
the holidays pass
and a Monday arrives
amazingly fast
a day like all others
‘cept a new calendar in tow
feigning nothing is different
for all that we know
but hope springs eternal
and preparations begin
since as fast as it went
it comes ’round again
so ready yourselves
with all of your might
for next year’s happy Christmas
and all those good nights
