Celebrate Now

I want to carve myself into the book of immortality

My epitaph: "Live, love and learn."

Join my dance with my soul in rhythmic splendor

Erase the agony of loneliness, hopelessness

Celebrate my life, now, in the moment

I may topple from the pinnacle of success

Thrashing into the gloom of utter despair

Only to rise again to celebrate

But what if I never reach these lofty heights?

What if I stay as "everyman" doing my thing

Work, love, rejoice in the chorus for the world

Almost gratified with what I have and not have

Simply a teacher, a businessman, a family man

Following a daily routine

Still a slave to the system in which I live

Dangling at the cliff, barely holding on

 

Best now to let go, fall into the icy water below

Swim in the torturous stream of humanity

Then quickly dry

They say an angel saved me

I can barely appreciate the magnificence of the scenery about

Just want to return home to warmth and comfort

Someone filmed my fall, scattered it on the Internet

Live in the flick, in time set

Who wants immortality anyhow after it's over?
