a younger me
thought I missed the mark
making of the darkness more dark
took it in and wrapped my secrets
hopes and fears that others knew
the things that I did not
but older me
not smarter but more wise
discerns there is no vade mecum to this life
we do the best we can with what we've got
make light of things we wish we had forgot
no set of rules to guide us
try to find what will inspire us
and leave behind the things that do not
