05. Right Now

Folder: 
05. 21 (07.24.08)

I don't care how, but I do care when.

I've got to live the life I know I can.

Engines must be started, torches must be lit.

The journey must be taken, I can't just sit

When life is out there happening.

The hustle and bustle of life on the street

Slowly impresses the concrete

Like water smoothing granite,

Like sun rays reaching planets.

I cannot remain here in the dark

Waiting so long for action to start.

I need to be involved somehow.

Something's got to happen.

Right now.
