Awareness

At this time
I am aware of the fact
That I feel tired, but really
It could just be the weather.
I am also very much
Enjoying - and taking time
To enjoy -
Simple things;
A decade-old novel, and
A decade of poetry.
Both books bring me
Peace
And clarity,
And where one supplies
Me with nostalgia of
Reading familiar passages -
The other
Doesn’t need nostalgia
Because it holds within it
Innocence.
