Today Could Be The Day

Today could be the day first bitten spring curls beneath my hopeful brow blackest dirt sings richness alarmed with promised growth inside out openings loves embracing rows upon rows peerless shining truths fed on black water planted without doubt my ancestor forgiveness seeds Today could be the day Alice’s rabbit hole found first small spurts ant energy marching ... intent sober clean see yonder the finish line? My feet crippled tied up to old stories fathomed deep with slots for copper pennies unworkable killable outdated and futile slathered in history are cheap resigned actions day after day groundhog sing songs each morning eyes dry with snake cures seeing my other side of the bed missing out slide rule elements of now of what could be Today could be the day cherub heart Pink with expectation alive with bringing forth communes both sides into action I lay here supple feeling the cure ready for the change I seek.

Notes

Each morning I wake up with this mantra.

Each morning I believe that all my desires

for this better version of me will come true,

It is my practice

I do it each day.

I smile for one minute or more in bed I lay

I say:

Today could be the day

I get all my dreams come true,

What is stopping me

but me?

I sigh and I hold myself dear.

I ask to believe.
