Driving Through the Solstice

The longest day, the shortest night Driving through the solstice So many miles to go until the light The losses still linger And make me think twice I’m crossing my fingers And rolling the dice If the stars align, but the clouds block my view Would I even notice The subtle clues about what I should do The losses still linger And make me think twice I’m crossing my fingers And rolling the dice Lean into the risk I might as well bet all the chips Reaching deep inside For equanimity and peace of mind Drive away the fear The comfort zone is now a distant blur In my rearview mirror There’s no return, once the bridge has burned The losses still linger And make me think twice I’m crossing my fingers And rolling the dice I’m crossing my fingers And rolling the dice
