SUNDAY

 

It happens every week.

A slow journey,

Culminating

With this one event.

 

This happening

That often flavors

The taste of the next

Destination.

 

Defines the road

By which we travel

With or without

A heavy burden.

 

Sometimes,

Forgotten promises

And barbed daggers

Thrown in frusteration

Aimed true in anger

Weigh heavily.

 

Othertimes

We are lighter,

Brighter,

Allowed to

Begin again,

Free of doubt.

 

                           Sunday.
