Use it or Lose Everything

Quemis

The riddle in our honesty left untouched will turn.
Sour lies and fearful rot will whisper 'till we burn.
If mystery goes unspoken, if wonder slips away,
Time pass into trouble, people empty clay.

Our cowardice licks windows until the tongue it bleeds.
Shaking hands held out for bliss, dividing want and needs.
Silly little souls are singing such a frightful song,
But if we sway to the lament - we will not burn long.

So stoke the flames of gratitude, be brave enough to try.
Befriend insignificance, the stars can tell you why.
Lose yourself in forest deep, old antlers mark the trail,
Dance to songs no one can hear, set spine and soul to sail.

Awe is something you can teach, connection is a cord.
Curiosity a fractal question, not to be ignored.
Connect your life and creations - tail to face to tail.
Use it or lose everything, this perfect moment frail.
