I ordered a watch
yesterday, it was placed in my mailbox
interesting, the timing
     see what I did there…haha
the day was a marker
an anniversary no longer celebrated
yet a reminder, always
     the watch was a practical purchase
          to be used for work, exercise, casual activities
               the day to day monotonies
which are ironically, when life truly occurs
the everyday joys and moments of peace
     I have proven to myself
I can manage, and manage well
left to my own devices, tools, people
the watch is just that
     a device
yet much more
a reminder that time allows me to change
move forward, wilt and bloom anew
