Listen To The Pulse
If life were a race I would finish last
not in a hurry to execute my final motion
not living for the future or stuck in the past
what's the hurry with all the commotion
melodies of music and voice not yet shared
Memories locked away with silence unprepared
I'll take my time with each memory made
feeling with my heart is all I've known
with what is presented never delayed
pulsing each moment that I've grown
the clock within always winding
the pace of time within flesh is binding.
