Sometimes life takes your keys
and throws them to the sharks,
in that moment nothing seems worse
but there is always worse out there.
Take a breath to fill the bellows
and let it out with all the feeling you can,
let the omens of yester year fall by
and take the reigns back.
Stand tall in the tide
and let the salty waves wash over you.
Breathe in the breeze and open your eyes,
let the sun soak into your soul.
The darkness is never permanent,
and neither is the light.
Take today as it comes
and tomorrow when it arrives;
today is a blessing
and tomorrow will never be promised.
