Poem - Take A Risk

September 6, 2019

Inspired by this quote from the book “Veronica decides to die”
“…make me climb some dangerous mountains, because I need to run the risk of being alive”
- Paulo Cuelho

Alive. Take a risk to be alive.
Go for a long run, a long drive.
Leave the hive, risk being alive.
Alive. Take a risk to be alive.

Sunrise. Take a look when you arise.
Watch the sun rise, feel alive.
Wake up, open your eyes.
Alive. Take a risk to be alive.

Follow your heart. Give your life a new start.
Look deep inside. You can go far.
I took the risk and I made a new start.
Alive. Take a risk to be alive.

Sunset. Look at your day, and don’t forget.
And through the night, to another sunrise.
And open your eyes to what’s inside.
Alive. Take a risk, and be alive.

Alive. Another day to watch the butterflies.
To watch the birds above fly.
Feel alive, feel the life, and fly.
Alive. Take a risk, and be alive.

Follow your heart. Take a risk to be alive.
Go ahead and give it a start, follow your heart.
I’m alive, I took the risk and I’m alive.
Follow your heart’s desire and feel alive.
