Moments

oh yeah, feeling good after giving blood for the first time

Moments.
Nothing but points
In infinite time.
But there’s
Still a distinction.
Love the moments past,
Live the moments present,
Fight for moments future.

Mother Jones
Had it right
When she said
“Pray for the dead,
Fight like hell for the living.”
This life is all we got,
Maybe something in store
Beyond our perception.
But we just don’t know.
So live life as this moment
Was your last moment passing.

No need
To waste all your time
Doing senseless things.
Spend your time with someone else.
Find the love of your life.

Don’t give up.
Don’t give up.
Don’t give up.

It sounds so easy,
And we know that ain’t the way
That life turned out to be.
Bounce with the falls
Like Cool Hand Luke
As he stood after every blow
You must stand
For the world to see.

Life isn’t always pretty
But you can always make it beautiful.
Laugh and cry
You might die a little
But your spark ignites a light
That starts the forest fire.

Keep throwin’ that ball
Against the wall
And catching it
In your glove.
Whistle to the tune
Of happiness and
Perseverance.

Don’t give up.
Don’t give up.
Don’t give up.

Moments.
Nothing but points
In infinite time.
But hey! There’s
Still a distinction.
Love the moments past,
Live the moments present,
Fight for moments future.

Electric Stars

this one is for Teo and Maria

Electric stars
taking shapes in the sky
follow them and
connect the dots
look far enough
and you will see me.

Worlds apart
But the sky makes us one.
the electric stars
charged and shining
light up the skies
and let me see your eyes

soul to soul
we are brought together
under one infinite sky
the memories not forgotten
I can feel you
As though you were next to me

A hare passes below my window
In the dark of night
Illuminated by the stars shining bright
Another tear falls
For the fight you must continue
Without my guiding light.

Yet I know you will persevere
Because you remember
The electric stars
That we both once sat under
Laughing and crying together
