This fragile day
Posted by Simon Parke, 16 March 2018, 5.28am
When a fragile day appears
Don’t rush past it or drown it out
Some days are strong, confidently-filled
Some days are busy, carrying us unconscious
Some days are happy, effortlessly joyful
But some days are fragile, like thin water-colour, neither one thing nor the other
As if for a moment, we see behind the scenery
As if we don’t quite exist, not as fully as sometimes, not as fully as others around us
We feel a little alone, and out on the edge
And when the fragile day arrives, as sometimes it does
We don’t rush past or drown it out with mental panic or loud intentions
But breathe and listen for its different tune, caught on the quiet breeze
Eternity delivering to our door a vulnerable space, a dissolving space
Given to the beloved
This fragile day, this more agile day.
