A Swift kick..

Sometimes you need,
A swift kick in the pants,

A swift kick in the pants
To wake up your senses
Get the blood flowing
Break inertia, ball's rolling
To realize what you got
What's valued, what's taken for granted.

A swift kick in the pants
A failing test, the rising stress
Imploding relationships, a lost contest
Shake-up at work, a forfeited perk
Long look in the mirror
What you got, what trails in the rear view

A swift kick in the pants
Broken screens, depleted batteries
Failed patches, rolled back releases
Stranded on the highway, waiting for a tow
A table full of food
Empty stomach, empty chairs around you

A swift kick in the pants
Pink slips, red cards, alarm bells
Aching hearts, twisted ankles, pulled muscle
Uphill drives, frozen roads
Wandering deer, slippery slopes
Undone gloves and untethered souls

Sometimes you need,
A swift kick in the pants,
To come back and say
Hi blog, it's been a while
