I’m having the maybes today.
The longer I live,
the more maybes I have.
Maybe I will breathe easier.
Maybe my shoulders will
relax—
or my arms
or my hands,
maybe all three.
Maybe peace will come.
Maybe I’ll
be still
long enough to feel it,
know it,
catch it,
carry it within me.
Maybe I’ll get an insight—
or not.
Maybe I’ll never be
so arrogantly sure of myself
ever again.
Maybe my heart will
re-tune itself to hum
a richer, fuller
melody.
Maybe I’ll hear Life laughing
in delight
at me and my
maybes.
Is this wishful thinking?
Is it hope?
No matter.
Maybe my maybes will
come true.

Nurture peace, cultivate kindness, and carry the calm.
