The Mayfly Man

Today is for raising verve and fervor Today is not for the self but for the serving Today is a rag squeezed completely dry Today is for finding out the what and why The soul's search continues on this day The right door opens when you're on the right way Grab the bull by the horns and smell the roses Keep your head up when they look down their noses Today is for the taking, nay, the seizing Today is for building the fire amidst the freezing An underappreciated and taken for granted, Overlooked seed that's ready to get planted So get up and ask yourself "What am I doing?" When I look at my self, are there cheers or booing? Today is something we'll eventually see once more So today it's time to find truth and what's in store
