Congruity: Drifting

Another muggy day,
Chores to do,
Bills to pay,

No vacation
For this aspirant,
Continuous exertion
All the way;

Yet relaxing interludes
Break up the tension slightly,
Like sunlight
Through the gaps in the clouds.

Inside the clouds
It’s difficult
To remember sunlight,
But sometimes I succeed,

Then I wonder at
How that’s possible,
Even though
It’s so ordinary,

Such fascination
Over such an everyday occurrence,
I never seem to tire
Of this simple view;

I keep returning
And marveling,
Forgetting
And remembering;

All day long
I do it,
Often not knowing it,
And even when I know,
Not knowing why I do it.
