Caught

I am caught in myself:

In the tantrums of toddlerhood,

the sarcasm of adolescence,

the self-doubt of youth

and the parched wisdom of old age


Every day cycles through 

a full turn of seasons—


The mind's vast skies overcast at dawn.

Clear and azure in the evening.

Where do the clouds go?


Am I the movie

Life's showing me?
