Live a Little
Life is too short
You may have heard it
It was spoken to me
Not too long ago

For it leaves me with
Indescribable
Uncertainty
As to what it means

Life is too short
For now
For today
This second
This moment?

Tie yourself up with it
See untied canopies of
Letting it flow
Letting go
Feeling the now

Throw down your woes
Damn you
Live!
For life is too short

All the time wasted
Wishing hoping
Remembering

What could have been
What was

Whilst all the time
You could have lived

Short time recognized
It's a short life
You live then you die

When you are dead
A calm will come over
Not unlike
When you are awake

Knocking on your doorstep
Is “have faith fool”
A friend of mine
“Try living a little”
Let go

Fear no more my friends
This moment is here now.
