A GOD DAY

by Solomon

The gears are all in mesh.
My veins are swollen with confidence.
Today I can skip under
The skin of eternity
And become that galloping horse,
Feel like a king
Who has all things in place.

Any one of today's 86,400 seconds,
I will have lived the best day
Of my life.

You know my number, Lord.
Call my time.

Let someone else move up the queue.
Taste this avalanche of endorphins.
