Unknown

All the new that fell behind
Left in shelters of my mind
Camped in my house of many rooms
Open and close
Hibernation...
I am asleep through this waking life
Dull with what I have done and undone
Memory fails and then receives
Too late for what I must do
And what must I do?
The new has become old and more new coming in
Change and risk is what I must do
Not the risk that endangers my life...but yes...maybe that too
More the risk of connection and relationship
That makes my life and their life richer for our presence
And the learning...expansion...
Shall never cease.
