Heroes

We sat and did nothing
and governments fell
and trains collided
and everywhere was war
but we sat it through.

NaPoWriMo “I am born each morning”

I am born each morning
forgotten is the womb
by the first daylight beam
as I open the window
to greet other newborns.

We only live a day
then night comes
sucking us back into oblivion
of soft and warm and darkness.

I am born each morning.
