this or that

morning is
a violent storm of
... overwhelming

you
  even in your
  small presence
are aglow
enormous
vibrant

a nearby flower ages
in her frail dress of
graying petals
  I grieve with
  her death

the differences are
hard to define
  this or that
  coming or going
I am not privy to
the secret

my assumptions are
limited by ignorance,
I cannot justify
any answer

and so this day begins
with empty hands
and an empty mind
... unobtrusive
