A Time to Dance

When news from my inbox
sets my feels a-whirling, my feet a-twirling
my pups content to craze by my side

it's near impossible to settle my mind --
my mettle is permitted to tarnish
for a day

Tomorrow the refresh button
will tire of my touch.
I'll ground myself, dig deep, press on.

But today I dance 
hopes high on cloud nine,
grateful I never gave up
