Echoes of Persistence

Seize this song called life,

Choose to hold it fast against

The reverberating lyrics

Within your mist.

Clasp it to your soul

Never relinquishing your hold,

Move with delicate abandon

To shape the force of reality’s mold.

This life you may treasure

Cannot escape your realm

If you but bind it tightly,

Steadfastly to your helm.

Choose growth and pure existence

Over each day’s trivial death

By choosing echoes of persistence,

Whispered in your every breath.

Seize this beauteous thing called life

You’re given as a wondrous gift,

Soar through the skies, enjoy simple days

For you see, time will pass too swift.
