Carpe Diem's Ghost

When I think of my finest moments
Smooth maneuvers and big waves caught

I was selfless
Not bogged down in thought

Thinking at all the right speeds
Like on a string, stacking beads

But sometimes there is no play
Dare I say often

Squirming is the brain
When nothing happens

“Find something to do”
And you won’t be blue

Release the ghost
It’ll achieve the most
