storm clouds loom on the horizon
a smell of change floats in the air
a new day is arising
as we wait unaware
of what lurks in the distance
the eclipse of new moons
willed into existence
from our self-made cocoons
the dampness stirs our composure
moving us into action
making wishes on clovers
creating brief distractions
waiting for luck to arrive
find your fortune in cookies
papercuts verify you're alive
prove yourself like a rookie
reviving compassion
the thrill of good deeds
leaving you to imagine
what it all really means

How, Too
Many people wonder how, too. You are not alone, and I am an expert. I will teach you how, too! First, you need to remit a small application fee and fill out an application describing the nature of your financial situation and how often payments will be made, as this will have great bearing on how well I teach you how, too.

If anything at all, my friend. If anything at all. In the macrocosm it is all as nothing. In the microcosm it is everything.
Absolutely awesome poem! I love the feeling of yearning for luck throughout. Very real emotion!
I agree with Dana. It's both inspiration and dread. Excellent piece.
This one gives me an interesting combination of inspirational and foreboding vibes. "a smell of change floats in the air" really hits home for me right now. Another great poem, Kelli!
Fantastic!!!♥️♥️💕
