Write now


Running swiftly

passing silently

falling away

never caught, never resting

 

The time is now

not tomorrow

tomorrow never comes

but today is fading quickly

 

Speak now

or forever hold your piece

what is said is siad

but what is not said is sadder

 

You have power

in your words

only if they are said

out loud now

 

Your life pages are turning

flipping fast

slipping by

all stories end

 

Live loud

live well

speak and be heard

change the world

 

There is time now

in the present

but act quickly

before it vanishes
