Go Fish
What is it?
A cry for recognition
Hear me here I am
Share my fate
Is anybody out there?
Or here I am
Ready and willing to help
Trying desperately to fashion
The tools to awaken your
Stubborn slumber
To open your eye to the splendor
So many many busy busy souls
Some just trying to stay alive
Most living from day to day
A few attempting to justify their existence
And a very lucky few
Sitting back occasionally dropping a line
Or dipping a warm toe into
The river of life
That trickles beside their own
Knowing this is it
All you get
And living each day as if it’s the last
Treasuring all that has past
Making music to dance to
