Better melt out
Than burn away
Better belt out
Than slow decay
Better rust than not
Better image
Better blot
Better catch it
Than let go
Better ice better snow
Than the other numbness
That doesn’t go
Better hand better hold
Better warmth than all the
Mounds of gold
Better fur better
Mounds of purr
Better hang on
Better tight
Better feel it all
Than fight
Better know it goes away
But better love it
Anyway
Welcome to The ALIVE hour.
