Blank page
Not of one which waits
For typewritten words
Hand penned letters
Or even senseless doodles.

Clean slate
Not of those that sit
Wiped clean, ready
For the next time someone
Needs to demonstrate
The most recent bit of learning.

Handy, dandy references
Instead
Of each new day we begin
Every morning, and mine
To whom, I am
Captain of my ship
Master of my domain
Author of my own story
Painter of the colors of my winds
And, lest, I forget
Responsible
For the impressions left upon it
All others will ultimately see
At nightfall and beyond.

The text of this new day
Is what I choose
To make it
But, as always, prefaced
By a foreword
Dictated by
My Higher Power.
