Lifeline

Just when you think

that it's way past the time

to let go off everything

and everyone.

Take a step back

Breathe in,

then

breathe out.

Know that no matter how bad

today goes,

With the rising moon,

it too will become

yesterday's sun.

And regardless of

how low a blow

life could deal

you,

You're not alone.

For through it all

there's someone there

wishing fervently

That as the world

turns on its axis

as you sleep,

it too will bring

the turkey's wobble

many steps further away

from your Thursday.
