No matter

Late to the party

Just get there

On your own schedule

It's always going on

Happy people

Laugh & dance & joke

Rich or broke

Look around

See the fluid stripes

Life looms just ahead

No matter what you read

Stories of failure

Miss the point

From mistakes make

Successes arise

Look into your past

Find the reasons

Within them lies the future

Lies the future

However cloudy the day

Close your eyes

Remember the heat of sun

It is there, constant

Remove the marine layer

See between the cumulus

Feel the heat

Even through an overcast sky

A matter of your awareness

Without a sun, there is no planet

Without a joyful spirit

There is no hope.
