Bits That Had Fallen Down
I slowly built up
the bits that had fallen down.
But,
in the days
of such challenge and turbulence,
little
seems to make sense.
And I know
we are caught in a whirlpool
of second guesses.
But,
I slowly got back up
without
much ache and pain,
contemplating
the nature of gloss and gain.
It is only in later years
that you feel the aches and pains.
