Poetry: Live
Pluck the string
Dance upon your coffin
And live
Ring the bell
Hear them toll
Cue the chimes and drums
Dance upon your headstone
And live
And it is far from over
In the worst and best of times
So I refrain from soldering a smile
Or frown upon my face
Embrace the child
Laugh and play
Swing higher
Than you did in your youth
Dance upon the sandy beach of peace
And live
Run and jump
Collapse and feel
For the thump
I see it in your throat pulsing away
Dance upon the stony path of life
And live
Smile and laugh
Cry and weep
Take the good
Understand the terrible
Abstain from judging in your living time
Dance in the meadow of light
And live
Look up
Look down
Take notice
Take to studying
Dance till you understand this life
And then you'll earn your crown
