.

Breathe,

.

Catch,

.

.

Throw -

.

.

It is nothing, 

.

Spare time,

.

No more a cage 

.

Than the window sill 

.

And no more a toll than a pocket casting dimes

.

Into the still deep of a wishing well.

.

.

.

Breathe,

.

Catch,

.

.

Throw -

.

.

It's better to dance in this -

.

All this fear,

.

All this palpable stress.

.

Dance, I say -

.

Revel in the anarchy of bliss

.

And tear pages from the book of Bacchus,

.

The wine soaked tome of Dionysus.

.

.

.

Breathe,

.

Catch,

.

.

Throw - 

.

.

Allow yourself the mistakes of youth,

.

Spin with them;

.

For they may not come again.

.

And though the act is but a blind eye to truth,

.

Spin with the abandon of long lost friends,

.

For there is nothing else you could do.

.

.

.

Breathe,

.

Catch,

.

.

Throw -

.

.

And spin,

.

Spin,

.

.

Spin with the notion of nothing to lose,

.

Spin, as if the swan song of the act

.

Is the last, for it mayn't come again.

.

Spin the top for your feet to follow

.

And forget everything else therein. 

.

.

.

Breathe,

.

Catch,

.

.

Throw,

.

.

And forget naught to spin,

.

Spin with the fervor of new found feet,

.

Spin, as if it were the last chance

. 

.

That we might'st ever spin again.

.

.

.

Breathe, catch, throw,

.

Breathe,

.

And spin,

.

Spin,

.

Spin.

.

.

Reviews

[John the Baptist]

Getting existentialist again, eh? (Hope you don't mind my hijacking the Canadian ending there.). What this says to me is that all you have is yourself in this moment of time. Spin within it, It's your being, your choice, spin,"with the notion of nothing to lose," for your choice to do it is all you really have to do. Own it

[Ookpik]

Don't mind your borrowing our jargon at all - in fact, were it up to me, and were you to find yourself needing to quit the American political scene, I'd say that I can speak for all of us when I say we'd happily welcome you into our great, northern bosom.

And this was, admittedly, an old one, written right about when the Covid inanity began and with the intent for self reassurance - though again admittedly, tearing pages from the book of Bacchus proved only effective as a temporary measure.

That said, owning it is absolutely the best piece of advice I have, in almost any given situation, and I think it's something that so many of us need to hear these days.

Very happy to see another review John, and I am, for the most part, always riding that existentialist train.

Simple and without fault, there's not much more to day really, well done, good read.
