The World Before Us
By HeadpatSlut
Rumbling the trees are alive with a birdsong-
I'm looking in myself,
my inner fire keeps me strong-
In this world as it burns how can I
know what's right, what is wrong?
I do not claim to know much, except
I take it all head on-
Embrace yourself, your powers, time is
never standing still-
Resist the urge to self destruct, to explode
and get your fill-
The squall is humming gently in the willows with
free will-
Like a silent wolf is homing in for the kill-
How do you think you can keep up with life if you always let it pass
you by?
What makes you think that if you anchor yourself down you
have the right to dream of the Sky?
Cling to breath and flee from
life do you fear the blackbird's omen cry?
How can you hope to see
the truth when what you do to yourself is lie?
I can't say much
concerning you, I only speak it for myself-
I don't want to be a sickness,
so I drink to better health-
I live it in the present, past a picture
on a shelf-
I'm far too busy trying to live if you stand still, I
cannot help-
Once you get ahold of Life, you'll never want to
let go-
When every moment seems priceless, only then will you know-
That our world is waiting for you to come show-
All that you've
got to give and get, so come on, let's go.
