Morning Mantras
Take a deep breath when the tsunami falls...

On the subway ride from Brooklyn to
Manhattan, overwhelmed by façades,
*
Music fades beneath
An ocean wave.
Nothing overlays the heartbeat of stress
In the silence.
*
Perhaps tomorrow there will be rain
And fire
Dancing through the sodden streets.
Maybe I cannot let go of
Everything.
*
However, tomorrow stays unanswered
Until it comes.
Morning is a new beginning.
