POEM: Awkward Period

Awkward Period

I am just
Sow trying
To navigate
Well
And empty well
In this awkward period
Between birth and death

Life presents an unending series of challenges for which we can never be fully prepared. This truth embeds a certain awkwardness as we navigate through life — and death. Allegedly full grown adults sometimes pine about the pitfalls of adolescence, when we are all pitted in a perpetual period of awkwardness, where something less than mastery reigns. May we learn to relax, maintain keen observation, keep open minds and hearts, and learn to work it all out together.
