Live Out Loud

Time Is Short

Life is for the living

Fear for the regret

Chance is for the moment

the ones that have not happened yet

Tears are for the lonely

Sometimes they fall with joy

Second chances only

Keeps us tethered or destroyed

Hold on to the memories

But don't let them hold you down

Wear them as accessories

As jewels in your crown

Sail the salty ocean

Beneath the moon's ever jealous rays

Name your taste in poison

And then make your get away

Taste the piquant breezes

Employ the western winds

To lost, forgotten beaches

Where tranquil waters have no end
