Optare (To Choose)
The power is within you
choose anything to do
to learn
to dream
to live
It's all up to you
Maybe you wish to travel the world
meeting people, experiencing the unimaginable.
Maybe it's on the cable cars of California, in the fairy tale castles of Scotland, or even down the snowy caps of the Alps
There is no limit, no boundary,
No lock- the world is your - and you have the key
It's all up to you.
No? Not your style?
Do you prefer the comfort of the cozy abode?
The linen sheets and down pillows are more of the kind of excitements you wish for.
The warmth draws you in, hugging you, to lie for a while....
A day, or two, or three... no plans at all
Netflix, food, the company of oneself.
If this is your style, then so be it.
It's all up to you.
Maybe you year to discover
pouring hours into research of the not yet known
your love of learning prevails.
Apps, Robots, Computers, Medicine, Prosthetics, Electricity, Biofuels
designed by you and me.
It's almost like fiction thinking of all the power of one mind.
Given hands, a brain, no more, and
you can change the world/
It's all up to you.
But, that, that is not the point
The places, the knowledge, the discoveries, the people, the ideas
These are not the fairest of them all, though they be great.
NO the true beauty lies elsewhere
CHOICE!
The greatest gift bestowed upon mankind.
The power is in our hands.
Do nothing, do everything.
Live your life - or don't
No force has tied you to a certain place
It's not written in the stars
No, there's no inevitable fate.
The power is yours,
Seize it,
or let it free.
The choice lies in you
but you are tied down to nothing.
Beauty from this comes not from the action, but from the creator.
How far can one simply go on his own?
It's all up to you.
