today it isn’t
tomorrow isn’t either
not all days
are about you
stand in line
the one
the universe
claims the time
you don’t get to choose
only hope and trust
that when
it’s your moment
your mind
is open
not closed
and focused on
the menial
the obscure
a self-centeredness world
be prepared
when the universe
taps you on the shoulder
shouts in your ear
it’s your turn
my dear
what will you absorb
what will you take away
be open
to that day
and the universe
may bless you
with
compassion
love
and gratitude
