a_new_day
nighean_siofra it dawned a new day today
but something was different
i didn't call my friends
chat and say hi
i didn't see them in passing
to wave at or shout out
i talked to someone
i'd never had before
a stranger with a name;
his eyes full of smiles.

i threw myself into work
flipping the endless pages
alone and unnoticed
just another face
a tiny speck on the grass
keeping my own thoughts
to hoard and pick at
discarding memories
writing notes
recalling certain incidents
so as to tell my friends...
later.

well, so far nothing new...
But It Was.
Today i didn't mind so much
that no one knew my past
my story
my life
that no one knew i loved cats
or hated onions
and had a penchant for blue eyes

instead i looked forward
to meeting these people
learning their secrets
and telling them mine

suddenly,
the whole world looked brighter
Even with the rain.

and though its far
from perfect happiness
i do believe
i will survive...
