We move among the circles
that close quickly now,
tasks suddenly rendered easy
by lack of interruption,
huge projects now looking feasible
And we need to hang on hard
to the sense of purpose
that propels us forwards,
and learn to be sustained
by something other than
the scanty tidbits
gleaned from afar —
Harvest our joy
in what they have become,
but forge forward on our own.
