life,song & everything else

My life is a song. I'm the lead. I sing it day-in-day-out. Universe is my orchestra.People are my chorus. I can sing it only once, no re-recording! I get to wink at universe to play to my tunes. I can hint the chorus to sing in my stanzas. As I sing, I also get to listen to other songs. Its all messy when I try to listen to every song. So I listen when I get a breather from my stanza, when the orchestra or chorus take over for a while.

Beginning of the song, its just the music. I listen till I can clear my throat and start singing.I patch with buddies, whose song is akin to mine, similar tunes you know! Soon a female lead might join and start a duet.

I can sing to the tunes of universe or make it arrange music for my song. The chorus can sing their own words or I can ask help and make my song a complete one. I can sit quietly as I sing. Or I can dance.

Its a lot easier to let life pass by me. I am through it and not feel it. It can be a 100m sprint, where I run as fast as I can to come first.But I miss the fantastic views all the way long. When you are at the end of the race, it doesnt matter who finishes on the podium, what matters is the smile you put and the words "woow! what a ride".
