Day to Shine

By Bruce Clifford

Today is my day to shine.
Lost in the thoughts of the rhythms.
A nine-legged spider on a banana tree.
One of life’s many mysteries.

Today is my day to shine.
Panic within my point of view.
Freedom fights from within our dreams.
Sparks in the shadow of fantasy.

Today is my day to shine.
Immersed in the sounds and the rhythms.
A polar bear at the tropical sea.
On of life’s many mysteries.

Today is my day to shine.
Day to shine.

Today is my day to shine.
Lost in the deep thoughts of wonder.
Visons capture this relevancy.
The way things are supposed to be.

Today is my day to shine.
Lost in the thoughts of the rhythms.
A nine-legged spider on a banana tree.
One of life’s many mysteries.

Today is my day to shine.
Quiet in the shadows and colors.
A purple coconut by the fallen trees.
One of our planets many mysteries.

Drunk as a skunk outside the door.
I don’t remember hitting the floor.
The panic in my point of view.
Broken on a silent platitude.

Today is my day to shine.
Today is my day to shine.
