It’s Monday after an uneventful weekend
And I’m sitting here with my morning coffee
Not at all sure what the week has in store
Which I guess is probably a good thing

Meeting new people but not yet clicking
Though I’m optimistic things will
But something within me is missing
And I need to spend time finding it

It’s as if I just arrived here
Ready to start over again
As virtually all past connections
Have been mutually abandoned

And that is not a bad thing
But rebuilding at my age
Carries a cost and a burden
That weighs heavily on my thinking
