Looking for it

Every day requires a meaning.
Some days it’s as simple
as putting on socks.
Other days it’s a poem
or time with a lover.
Ah, but some days,
as hard as you try,
that meaning cannot be found.

Take a walk. You deserve it,
long, in the woods.
You will find something,
trust me,
perhaps not enough
to live forever,
but plenty
to make you thankful
for surviving this long.
