Now

I wanted to ask you

What you would do if you knew

Your life will end one day.

There’s no more “need” or “should”

There just is.

I want to meet and dance with someone

Who is has a passionate heart,

A daring soul, a partner-in-crime.

If I could dance this life with her,

I’d be content.

I want to stand on my two feet

And know I have done what is right.

I want to pay attention to the quiet moments

When the wind blows by in the quiet mid afternoon under the shadows of lush leaves

There is more to what appears on the surface.

I want to play with my creation

And know that it was fun for everyone.

I want the song to last

and fill the cup not to full, nor too dry

So that when we are all together

We would cherish all we’ve had.
