Of What's Here Today

by Chris Sorrenti


Concrete challenge
Fragile balance
I pray it’ll all work out
And if it doesn’t
There’ll still be a sunrise
Somewhere
In this haystack of life
Lies that needle of gold
At the appropriate time
It will behold
Just feel the way
And hope for the best
Play pawn and king
In this game of chess
Create a masterpiece
Of what’s here today

Love those last two lines. Inspiring. I also really like the idea of playing both pawn and king.

Certainly; every day is a new turn; a new chance to consider the move - or execute it. Somehow, I feel like I needed to read this today. Thank you, sir.
