'''Title: Live Like Dyin'''

'''Author: Silent Poet'''
------------------------------------

It seems like it was nay 
so verra long ago tha' I 
was nearly killed in winnin'
me love, Cat's freedom 
from her faither
Twas when I received this 
Heartstone

taps the stone in 
center of his chest which 
pulses with a steady beat
Nay too long ago, Tai 
asked me what did it feel 
like ta' be so close ta' 
death

So, o' course, I wrote a 
song aboot it

I was in me early forties 
wi' a lot o' life afore me 
when a moment came tha' 
stopped me on tha' line 
and I spent most of the 
next days
lookin' at a lot different 
healers
Talkin' aboot me options 
an' talkin' aboot sweet 
time
It was then tha it sank 
in 
tha' this might really be 
tha' real end
Tai asked hae does it hit 
ye when ye get tha' kind 
o' news 

an' I said
I went pub crawlin' 
I went Umbra mountain 
I went 2.7 seconds in a 
duel wi' Vaen Swiftar 
an' I loved deeper an' I 
spoke sweeter 
an' I gave forgiveness I 
hae been denyin' 
an' I said, "someday I 
hope ye get tha' chance 
Ta' live like ye were 
dyin'

I was finally the papa 
bear 
tha' most tha' time I 
wasna 
an' I became a friend a 
friend would like ta' hae
an' all tha' sudden goin' 
shoppin' 
wasna such an imposition 
an' I went three times 
tha' month Cat was mad 
well I finally read tha' 
good book
"What Would Poet Do?" 
an' I took a good long 
hard look 
at wha' I would do if I 
could do it all again 

an' then 
I went Molly tauntin'
