open your eyes - or - waste it all

sleep well, sleep deep, sleep well,
for now your time is yours,
enjoy the early morning mist,
soak in the long summer evening,
taste all on the menu,
suck every life experience dry,

open your eyes and see,
will great inhilation,
breath in all flavours on the nose,
let your taste buds fly,
dancing all bittersweet memories,
touch, feel, squeeze, manipulating digits,

walk, crawl, run, sprint,
till you feel your lungs explode,
then lay and rest and feel a calm wash,
dance, party, kiss, love, caress,
look at your watch, ignore the time,
be early, be late, jump now, or hesitate,

swim, fly, laugh, cry, fear,
take pride and care not,
like, hate, fight, and fall,
write and read, heal and bleed,
travel far and grow some roots,
procrastinate, procreate,

you may only get one life,
take my warning,
one day i will call,
today, tomorow, a year or 10,
all i promise is it wont be yesterday,
when i call for you i wont go past,
so, live every day as your last
