Face Off
It is a face off
Each and every day
Knowledge and the lack of
Held within the words we say.
The way it is taken
The meaning behind how it is sent
A quandary of sorts
Starting then there it went.
Results of emotion
Sleep the night before
A morning smooth
Maybe chaos is the source.
Pause before the moment
Activities one at a time
Sorting of reverence
Moving forward never crossing that line.
