But Here I Am

One second passed,

Two breaths used.

The past now goes

Rarely mused.

In boredom’s yawns,

Toil lands blows

Of challenges

Life foreknows.

We wake to watch

Habit’s glide,

See words and acts

Fact won’t hide.

Although the scenes

Look the same,

Time’s shifting lens

Turns the frame.

Our film is named

Existence

Where paradox

Makes entrance.

Relief weighs light

As a gram;

Resolve stands still.

Here I am.
