I live the life that's in my hands,
And inhale as my world expands.
With every count of passing breath,
My life remains, awaiting death.
-
To use the time, I spy and seek,
Adventures of sublime unique.
I wait and listen, both to hear
The inner voice, with which I steer.
-
I follow blindly its advice,
Regardless of the prize or price.
I trust completely where I go,
In me I trust, in trust I flow.
-
My path so far was never wrong,
It knew the turns and tricks along.
Sometimes it seemed about to fail,
And more than once I chose to bail.
-
Much pain ensued, as it would be;
I fought the stream that harbored me.
But once I learned that fact once more,
I gave up struggles for the shore.
-
I turned my mind and fears inside,
Relaxed as I enjoyed the ride.
I knew, somewhere, that this was true,
And smiling saw the daylight through.
-
I do not argue, will not settle,
For less than joy or finest fettle.
A top-notch life is meant to be,
For open eyes that truly see.
-
What I can see and start to learn,
Alights my passion's brightest burn.
And where to go is never shown,
I've made a friend out of Unknown.
-
I live the life that's in my hands,
And lead it with my own demands.
For joy is never out of reach,
To those who can forget the beach.
