One of those days
when you seem to be
walking slow

on a planet
spinning
super fast.

You are trying
to keep up
as best you can.

You have
magically
survived

many tedious
moments in
this crazy cosmos.

You’re ready to
spin own circles
with ease and grace.

The stars speed
forward, towards
the sun,

which makes for
the best todays
and tomorrows.

Focus on a life
minus all those
self doubts.

You are doing
what ancestors and God
knew you could do.

You’re moving forward,
learning to embrace all
the cosmos has to offer.
