Anything Could Happen

Whispered  Spirals of lucid feelings ‘ jest and mock within as morning shakes me gently from my slumber .

My thoughts bleed away from that invisible country of dreams ‘
their importance and  meaningfulness
 ‘fades quickly into the dark pool of the forgotten.

A new day of living has come ‘
And from that stillness I now begin a new cycle of existence within this world of men , the obligatory ,
 and Subsequent twenty four hours of perception and required lucidity  .

A tide of realisation begins to float my priorities and fears from that sleeping ocean’s floor .
 
Positive Self talk and gratitudes are spoken softly to abate and ground My mood for this coming new day.
 
Knowing If I was to Foolishly jump straight into the time of waken without care ,
Then This realisation would shock me painfully and lead to panicked floundering’s.

I remind  myself with factual neutrality’ and disciplined optimism 
that I’ve never lived this date 
‘ though it looks similar , ‘
today is new 
‘today anything could happen, 
and probably will .

'I remind myself with factual neutrality and disciplined optimism that I have never lived this date' - a great line. I think I'll adopt and repeat to myself each day. Excellently penned Simon. Enjoyed immensely. Ron :)
