Religious or not
we atone today even if atoning
means sitting quietly
considering what the year has been
what we have done that we
wish we hadn’t I am sorry
to be so judgmental about every
single thing how crazy is that
why didn’t he why didn’t she
endless litany which isn’t so
easy to change I don’t want to judge
small arbitrary decisions
wrong shade of pink
busy friend with no time
to read my poems
I can be tone deaf insensitive
I can forget Big Pictures
for small there are some days
where I’m not as grateful
as I should be for this
entirely amazing life,
(and for every single one of you.)
I find fault with just about everyone, including myself and those I love the most. It's ridiculous. I find it easier to find the good, the delightful, in strangers. Could I let this go? I wonder.
SUch a lovely and generous, atonement.
