I do not believe in luck.
I don’t have no truck
with claiming sovereignty
over random things.

I possess nothing mysterious.
No inner force
that can change the world
or overcome gravity.

In fact -

if a falling brick
misses me nearly
I am grateful, dearly
to the universal hand
that slowed it down
(or hurried me up).

Luck says I rule
but no,
I only recognize
the One who does.

It’s possible that this could be the day
the morning to leap ahead of the alarm
to wrestle all the shadows of my doubt
and walk into the light
leaving their lifeless forms behind me
and forge a new future built on dreams
or
it’s possible that this is a dream
that all these grandiose schemes are merely
the misfirings of neurons undergoing repair
and that sleep is the mechanic
so I should pull the blanket tighter
and stay until the work is done.

Over the sleeping world,
memory wanders.
In dreams, it follows familiar paths
of footprints pressed into timeless snows,
until desperate fingers
grab the icy blanket and roll over.
It’s a journey of love and longing -
chasing shadows of things out of reach,
plucking the past from winter’s grip,
anointing it with tears,
mixing joy with regret,
mourning the final setting
of so many suns,
their lights extinguished.
