Against the current

If there’s after life, live

if this is all there is, with more reason live

If the world is ending, live

if the wheels keep on spinning, live

Live as though there’s no tomorrow.

Live

If the river flows or floods

If fires burn

if storms destroy

if the earth quakes

Live, as if there’s no end

and if tomorrow is the end

Experience

the sensation of cool water on a hot summer day

the heat of flesh

the love of child

the green of nature

the red

Live

as though there were no cynics

trying to wake you from your dream of joy

Live the birth of fruit

the simple things

Live, intensely

whether life’s a figment

or the end of what is

Grab your only truth

hold your only friend

the most profound revelation

your moment

this instant

if it lasts a second

or eternity.
