Notebooks

Curious notebooks,

with hundreds of entries.

Incomplete, though full,

of tears of joy, and tears of grief,

of fun, follies, and failures,

complaints, condemnations,

appointments, disappointments.

Just like every day,

divine and diabolical,

tuned and synced

with the systole and the diastole

of the tired soft-bound and hard-bound heart.

When doubting, despairing, discouraged, depleted,

we turn to the pages,

and turn the pages

of the nurturing, noteworthy,

noble notebooks.
