Domino

Light me up, make me feel alive
add the spirit to these skin and bones,
put the dance in another aimless pop song,
make today more than just another Tuesday.

These soldiers of joy, these perfect smiles
from unknown faces, they come from places
that aren’t so far from where we stand—
from where we’re born, in this moment.

Shine like only you know how.
Raise your hands to the heavens
whether you’re on a mountain or not
and breathe in this mystery and exhale the answers.

These days are not built for endurance.
These days are made for speed.
The second you think you’re too late
you’re already there.

We may be lost, but we’re way ahead of schedule.
