Till the Wheels Fall Off

Drumbeats, drumbeats, drumbeats My soul is searching, searching, searching My pulse is rising, rising, rising My heart is pounding, pounding, pounding I sit silent and meditate Hoping for my sails of thought ...to catch the winds of motivation and inspiration I have a value which I wish to improve soon The urge in my heart is impatient to wait I want to start now, I want to go now That was yesterday, so here I am today Exactly where I wanted to be as I wanted to be Still I want to go farther, faster and faster Still, my ideal dream seems further and farther Something at the back of my mind assures me It will all come to be... it will all come to pass And that I absolutely believe Only problem is I’m not good at waiting I want it all and I want it now From dawn to dawn I’m busy on every clock Day after day still seeming not to move an inch But I still must persist I must keep on pushing and pushing And when I’ve pushed my all I’ll still push some more I’m in a different world from the one in my mind ...and I’m feeling all alone These wordings are the SOS from my soul Hoping the Infinite Mind may recognise and respond My life is for the purpose of heeding a call Each day on the grindstone of practice I sharpen my skills Only eager to be me in the ways that only I can originally be I believe in history to in the future appreciate me for being me For I can never be anyone better than they are But I can be me better than I was So I must see the bottom inside of every cupful of coffee I must see the light of dawn to know that it’s time to catch a little sleep I must give my all with the promise of all ...for this is the opportunity I sought I’m heeding the call thus pleasure fills my soul Knowing I still have capacity for more Soon I’ll reach the finish line and when I reach it I’ll push it further to the limits beyond I will never stop for as long as my heart beats on I’m on a rugged path with my heavy cart of impossible dreams I must push and push and push... and push some more Till the wheel falls off
