Run Don't Walk

               It’s no pleasure thinking about profits            There’s a pain trying to produce publicity            The reason and the only point is to produce            The words that convey emotion and the stories that convey heartwork            Seal that soul and separate yourself            These things take a toil on you young man            Grapple in the fear            But don’t let it pull you down            The name and the noise and spotlight            All seem to be brilliant distractions            Find some kind of balance            But keep sprinting            Keep climbing            Keep dreaming            Keep on             Keep pointed in the prose            Stories that have been told before but not by you            Voices that have been uttered for totally other reasons than yours            Wrap your arms around these premises             And shake something special out of them            Hear this same steady melody            And tweak it take it break it formulate it do something new with it            Bring a voice and bring a vision and bring a heart and a soul             Then stay steady             Stay steady on this road full of voices and noises             Run don’t walk            Stay straight don’t fall            Remember            And look His way
