The Next Right Thing
The road recedes as fast as thought
low and lost beneath the wheels
till mirror-weary eyes are caught
snared by some past lapsed ideal
-
Be present always in the moment
a chain assembled link by link
Live without need for atonement
Just do the next right thing
-
A glance back at abandoned paths
can enlighten through dysfunction
but gazing on regrets rehashed
is an impotent seduction
-
Be present always in the moment
resisting the sirens of the brink
Live without need for atonement
Just do the next right thing
-
The tar horizon smoothly soothes
the monotony hypnotic
the rear view flashing with abuse
obsessive and neurotic
-
Be present always in the moment
even if scars swell and sting
Live without need for atonement
Just do the next right thing
-
Straightened sights upon the goal
the driver keeps command
not permitting his past to control
the placement of his hands
-
Be present always in the moment
Winter will succumb to Spring
Live without need for atonement
Just do the next right thing
The next right thing
