These Days

I’m looking for some point of fire,
I mean some point of view
Other than my own

Pretty soon life feels like
A hamster wheel, 
Retreading iterations of
The same old patterns, but 
Coming into the long era 
Where I am my own,
I begin to examine the
Universe of my riches, past,
Those treasures,
I remember all
The best
And cast off, forgetting
All the rest, because
I finally found a toehold
In my sea change,
Enough so I can ask 
The past, and that
Takes some courage, 
What now makes sense?
While some things are still 
The same, I’m looking
For the fire.
