There is no real reason to wake up.
You are not required or entitled,
you have no definite duties
as far as the universe is concerned.
Sure there are places you say you’ll be,
but the sun will not climb down
to scold you when you decide to
ignore them.
No,
you are not required. So why?
Is it for money? We don’t all get that.
For love? We don’t all get that
either.
There is no real reason
outside of capability.
We are aware that
something
can happen if we try just right.
We know of opportunity though
we couldn’t recognize its face.
But it’s not so much a matter of
certainty or recognition.
It’s more of a dance,
and when your toes line up
and the light catches the
sweat on your face,
you will think,
“Oh that’s the reason.”
and keep spinning.
