Deception of the Day

deception 2

Bright sun pouring in the kitchen window
Flowering tree in bloom.
Pink and yellow begonias on the steps,
Welcoming the morning.

Walk outside, to breathe in the warm spring air.
To move forward from yesterday
To today.
Warmer, longer,
More hopeful.

Expectations are the bane of my existence.

The day deceived.
A cold north wind blew through my heart,
And reminded me not to trust
The burning sun to warm me.
Or the longer day to evolve me.

No, a cold north wind
laughed at my desire,
My hope,
My
EXPECTATION.

I went back inside
And looked at the lie
Of the bright sun,
The blooming flowers,
And the longer day,
I wondered, idly
If night will atone.
