A New Day

Misty rose-toned hues shroud the morning with mystery.
Thoughts of the day ahead shade gentle memories of the one prior.

If the sum of all my yesterdays equals today,
will they account for naught?

If I have traveled here from there ...
must I bring it all with me?

Nay, every journeyman must choose.

Oh, for wisdom of choice!

With no knowledge of the road ahead,
we must constantly choose, not only for direction,
but those things to bring and those to lay aside.

Perhaps I can adorn myself with the best and the most beautiful,
and build a stairway with all I lay down.
