Some days are

For rest

For building strength

For gathering thoughts

For embracing love

For being still

For the quiet

For watching, 

The sun move across the kitchen floor

Some days are

Better than others

And some just need to pass

-Camille Delaquise

This poem appears in The Precipice, Camille’s third contemporary poetry collection. Some days are meditates on the grace of gentleness — honouring rest, quiet, and emotional endurance as essential parts of living, rather than interruptions to it.

This poem is available as a contemporary poetry print on textured recycled card.
