It’s
no pleasure thinking about profits

            There’s
a pain trying to produce publicity

            The
reason and the only point is to produce

            The
words that convey emotion and the stories that convey heartwork

            Seal
that soul and separate yourself

            These
things take a toil on you young man

            Grapple
in the fear

            But
don’t let it pull you down

            The
name and the noise and spotlight

            All
seem to be brilliant distractions

            Find
some kind of balance

            But
keep sprinting

            Keep
climbing

            Keep
dreaming

            Keep
on

            Keep
pointed in the prose

            Stories
that have been told before but not by you

            Voices
that have been uttered for totally other reasons than yours

            Wrap
your arms around these premises

            And
shake something special out of them

            Hear
this same steady melody

            And
tweak it take it break it formulate it do something new with it

            Bring
a voice and bring a vision and bring a heart and a soul

            Then
stay steady

            Stay
steady on this road full of voices and noises

            Run
don’t walk

            Stay
straight don’t fall

            Remember

            And
look His way
