If the Moment Repeats

If you want to accomplish something,
  stop talking

If you want to get somewhere,
  start walking

If you want to be someone,
  stop wishing

If you find your table bare, 
  start fishing

If the door remains barred and closed,
  knock again

If the meaning lags behind intent,
  yourself befriend

If the sentences won’t start or end,
  reopen your heart

If the moment repeats again the same,
  with love—restart
