A Day

By Lochlan Bloom

Such a distance a day. How does one navigate to its end? The moment that we reflect, our commonplace routine seems endless.

Those choices small and large that we so deftly learn to sidestep become fathomless. From where does one summon up the energy to cross its tides and swells? The infinite currents and rollers that threaten to pull you off course.

Who has the strength to fend off all the monsters that lurk beneath its waves, ready to pull you under. How far it seems until the distant shore. How far away. That land of dreams.

Such a distance a day. An almost unimaginable expanse is it not? That scarce can you admit it is real.
