You need as often,
As you consciously can:
To exhale,
As much as you inhale.
To relax,
As much as you toil.
Be as blank,
As much as you’re scribbled.
And go about as crazy,
As controlled; you try to be.
Life isn’t a fight,
It’s a song…
And a song isn’t a song,
Without its highs and lows;
And a song isn’t a song,
If it’s all just a single note.
A song isn’t a song,
Without hundred different things
Coming together as if one.
It’s a song only,
When musicians are each,
playing Separately all the while;
As music is being created,
Together.
And so living is like singing.
And good singing is impossible;
If you can’t pause,
When it’s the choir.
Or if you can’t step up,
For the solo.
