Keeler Poems


Be Your Own Life DJ

You built the skills, you have done the work,
Faced every challenge, adjusted to every quirk.
Now comes the fork in the road of life that is yours to face
Grab the microphone of life with a warm embrace
 
A DJ doesn’t follow sound,
They craft the moment, feel the ground.
They blend the old with the new, create the vibe
They sway the room, to the flow of their drive.
 
Your life’s a mix of beats and cues,
Of chances taken, paths you choose.
Trust your timing, drop the music and lyrics of life that is true to you
And remember No one spins the track like you.
 

So, when the world hands you the stage,
Step forward, center, turn the volume up and be brave
Be bold, be clear, and do not fear the adjustments and strife
Be your own DJ and control the turntables of your life.

Foreboding of a tempestuous storm, 
it blackens as it draws near, 
a cumulonimbus in towering form, 
extending to the troposphere, 

So cast off mooring and slacken the line, 
break free while there's still time, 
'cause I'll pull you under if you don't let go, 

Save yourself and abandon ship, 
I'll take on water and sink too quick, 
in gales of winds the swells arise, 
these waves will break and so will I, 

Roars of thunder and screeching wind, 
sheets of lightning and pelting rains, 
walls of waves will batter within,
until our stability wanes,

So cast off mooring and slacken the line, 
untether your heart from mine, 
'cause I'll drown us both if you don't let go,

Save yourself and abandon ship,
I'm taking on water and sinking quick, 
in gales of winds the swells arise, 
these waves are breaking and so am I
