MOMENTS

ENJOY THE MOMENT

Oh, the enjoyment; enjoy the moment 
Oh, the excitement; enjoy the moment 
Oh, the amusement; enjoy the moment 
Oh, the amazement; enjoy the moment 

Watching the joyful play of children in the moment 
The driven play of kittens in the moment 
The soulful play of musicians in the moment 
The focused play of athletes in the moment 

Enjoyment; excitement; amusement; amazement; wonderment; enchantment; astonishment; enjoyment. 
Enjoy the moment. 

Living an unexpected intimate moment 
Exchanging vows in a memorable moment 
Cries of a newborn; a moving moment 
Watching the sunset for a very brief moment 

The pleasure of laughter is immeasurable 
The treasure of joyful fun is valuable 
The pleasure of blissful love is agreeable 
The treasure of friendship is remarkable 

Such delight; the warmth of sunlight 
Such delight dining by candlelight 
Such enjoyment; incredible wonderment 
Such enjoyment; unbelievable enchantment 

Feeling safe and loved; feeling the moment 
Reaching the soul of another; being in the moment 
Sharing tenderness; relishing the moment 
Alive and energetic; living the moment

INDECISION

I just don’t know what to do; what to do 
Can’t decide what to do 

Indecision; indecision 

Go left or go right 
Should I go up or should I go down 
Jump in or keep out 
Should I go under; should I go over 

Indecision; indecision 

Should I get up; or just lay down 
Reach out or hide within 
Should I move on or maybe hold back 
Persevere or just give up 

I just don’t know what to do 
Can’t decide what to do 

Undecided 

Indecision; indecision 

Say yes; say no 
Should I believe or mistrust you 
Act today or wait ‘til tomorrow 
Hope for more or settle for less 

I just don’t know what to do 
Can’t decide what to do 

Should I get close or should I get away 
Take a chance or remain safe 
Should I go with you or stay away from you 
Should I accept you or reject you 

Indecision; indecision 

I just don’t know what to do 
Can’t decide what to do

LIFE GOES ON

Life goes on; beyond all loss; life goes on 

Lost friends, lost loves 
Lost sons and daughters, lost parents 
Lost grandparents, lost sisters, lost brothers. 
Lost pets, lost livestock, lost wildlife. 
Lost crops, lost land, lost forests, lost parks. 
Lost rivers, lost lakes, lost islands. 

But life goes on; beyond all loss 
Beyond the loss; life goes on. 

Lost energy, lost mobility, 
Lost ability, lost autonomy and memory 
Lost assurance, lost confidence, 
All feeling, lost gaiety, and looks. 
Lost language, lost culture, lost freedom, lost voice. 
Lost work, lost contacts, 
Lost money, possessions and homes. 
Lost power, lost authority, 
Lost elections, arguments and wars. 
Lost morality, lost fidelity, 
Lost honesty, humility and hope. 

But life goes on; beyond all loss 
Beyond the loss; life goes on.

FEVERISH 

Chasing after you 
I can’t keep up 
The pace is just too much 
Chasing after you 

Rushing here and there 
I can’t keep up 
The pace is just too much 
Rushing here and there 

Racing against time 
I can’t keep up 
The pace is just too much 
Racing against time 

Running back and forth 
I can’t keep up 
The pace is just too much 
Running back and forth 

Hurrying...where to? 
Scurrying…where from? 

I need a break 
I need a rest 
I need some calm 
I need to breathe 

Cleaning up the mess 
I can’t keep up 
The work is just too much 
Cleaning up the mess 

Tidying the house 
I can’t keep up 
The work is just too much 
Tidying the house
 
Preparing endless meals 
I can’t keep up 
The work is just too much 
Preparing endless meals 

Washing this and that 
I can’t keep up 
The work is just too much 
Washing this and that 

Go faster…why so? 
Don’t dally…why not? 

I need a break 
I need a rest 
I need some calm 
I need to breathe 

Feverish…helpless…feverish…breathless… 

Cold sweat, Hot breath, 
Hectic pace, making haste 
Frantic, frenzied, panic, frenetic 

Rushing, running, racing, dashing, 
Speeding, whizzing, bustling, scrambling 

Making ends meet 
I can’t keep up 
The stress is just too much 
Making ends meet 

Verifying costs 
I can’t keep up 
The stress is just too much 
Verifying costs 

Checking the accounts 
I can’t keep up 
The stress is just too much 
Checking the accounts 

Keeping track of bills 
I can’t keep up 
The stress is just too much 
Keeping track of bills 

Make haste…be efficient 
Be swift…not deficient 

I need a break 
I need a rest 
I need some calm 
I need to breathe

SAVE ME

Save me; rescue me 

I’m falling; pulled down by heavy doubts 
I’m drowning; immersed in muddy thoughts 
I’m fading; without the will to live 
I’m dying; no strength to carry on 

I need your love; I need your touch 
I want your warmth; want your caress 
I need your passion; your embrace, 
I need you close to me 
Your lips, your grip, your voice, your force 

Please, I’m imploring you 
Please, I’m begging you 

Save me; rescue me 

I’m stumbling; my composure’s shot 
I’m crumbling; in pieces; I’m so broken up 
I’m plunging; sunk into deep despair 
Floundering; it’s so hard, so hard to bear. 

I need your love; I need your touch 
I want your warmth; want your caress 
I need your passion; your embrace, 
I need you close to me 
Your lips, your grip, your voice, your force 

Please, I’m imploring you 
Please, I’m begging you 

Save me; rescue me 

I’m falling, drowning…save me 
Fading, dying…save me 
Stumbling, crumbling…save me 
Save me; rescue me

 

 

 

WO-BAN

onomatopoeia

HUMDRUM

Same old routine 
It never changes 
Stuck in a rut 
A humdrum state; a never-ending cycle 

Over & over & over 
Round & round 
Again & again & again 
On & on & on 

The same old song 
Day in & day out; hour after hour 
Week after week; month after month 
Year after year 
A humdrum state; a never-ending cycle 

No expectations; mundane preoccupations 
Such tedium; such stagnation 

The same old story 
Repetitive tasks; repetitive chores 
Repetitive thoughts; repetitive moves 
Repetitive gestures 
A humdrum state; a never-ending cycle 

Over & over & over… 
Round & round 
Again & again & again 
On & on & on 

Same old refrain 
Such monotony 
Stuck in a rut 
A humdrum state; a never-ending cycle

 

WATCH OUT

Take care; beware; out there; no matter where. 

Observe closely 
Listen carefully 
Question wisely 
Judge astutely 

Don’t get taken in 
Don’t get distracted 
Don’t be vulnerable 
Don’t be gullible 

Keep your soul intact 
Keep your body safe 
Keep your spirit free 
Keep your energy 

Be careful of where you step 
Careful how you go 
Be careful of what you say 
Careful what you do 

Be cautious of treacherous waters 
Beware of hidden lairs 
Use restraint on rugged terrain 
Stay shy of shifting skies 
Beware of stifling air. 

Take care; beware; out there; no matter where. 

Stay alert; stay intent 
Stay vigilant 
Look out when in doubt 
Mistrust and adjust 

Inspect and scrutinize 
Examine; legitimize 
Discriminate; investigate 
Interrogate; evaluate 

Keep your soul intact 
Keep your body safe 
Keep your spirit free 
Keep your energy 

Keep your mind very clear 
Hold your passions dear 
Keep your decisions wise 
Be sure to analyse
