PICK UP THE BALL AND SHOOT IT

 

Pick up the ball and shoot it

Think of meaning and say it.

Solitary notion of the fool

Is to keep the idea silent

Hide it from examination

While the ego decides

What a great plan

And how it will capitalize

Often not seeing the obvious

Without learning to refine

The original idea

            Having lived, seen, tasted, failed and won

            Having known others deeply

            From love to the last hug

            I see it clearly each day

            The final count never works out

            Death has the final say

            You get today

            Alive with flesh, eyes, brain

            You get to act

            You get to learn fast

            Human and never in doubt

            Breath, eat, love, play, explore

            Leave a bit behind

            Something you learned along the way

Gravity speaks

Elevated eyes weep

They see a loving God

Full of hope

That is our great reward

That is what we should remember

And keep as present as possible
