due date

An unheralded arrival. More morose and melancholy than expected, as the sheer weight of the remainder doubles its gravity. But somewhere inside that unwelcome fog hums the serenity and grace of acceptance. It has been an emotional experience, to say the least. No doubt that relief will come by day's end, and all this manufactured stress will have no choice but to leave. Until then, it's one foot in front of the other, as I finish the race amongst the mist.
