FULL THROTTLE

Y'all gained y'all wings just a year ago
And just as slow as a still river flows
We must go on with the flow of roaring life
With its incessant turmoil & mounting strife

Life's but a vapor that'll eventually dissipate
In which no mortal man can predict the date
Our fate lies in the hands of a man yet unseen
Who, when divinely inclined, ends our scene

Summoning our presence into his kingdom
You sought peace & now at least you have some
The sum of the outcome is to be where you are
Shining bright at night like the guiding North Star

So far away and we yearn for your essence everyday
Drudging through while our emotions sway each and every way
Mines rarely displayed for they parlay in a bottle
Capped, remaining on tap, as I push it full throttle
