Whoa. There's something growing, there.

You've got time,
You've got wealth, man.
How ya gonna spend it?

You've got charm,
You've got health, man.
How ya gonna spend it?

Live unfurled to the winds of life,
And do not stress or turn to lies
When storms form up on horizon lines.

Throw arms wide and shout to storms,
And welcome winds both cold or warm,
And fear not lightning though it may harm.

Feel the thunder, let the rumble
Shake our hearts and make us humble
and when we fall, roll with the tumble.

We will get knocked down, crash and spill.
Of pains and trials we take the fill,
For these great troubles strengthen will.

And from these villains we'll learn to grow.
Their acts of ill-will to us show
the path that is best to never go.

And as the winds fill up the sails,
To carry forth the book of tales
We'll see that the ship's not set on rails.

Where we go's between gust and blue
To catch the wind or fight on through-
If we live, we knew what's best to do.

So sally forth and plot a course,
Our dally times - we please'd divorce,
To run like children with no remorse.

Ice-Ghost, Get outta there!

Do you desire to sit by a fire?
Do you have time to do as you desire?
And should you desire to sit by a fire,
Would by the fire you dare sit with me?

Could you surmise a meeting of eyes?
Do you make time for what you surmise?
And should you surmise a meeting of eyes,
Might then your eyes meet somewhere with me?

Can you think that you may have a drink?
Do you have time to do as you might think?
And should you think you may have a drink,
Would might a drink you then share with me?

Might you command a holding of hands?
Dare you make time to deny your commands?
And should you command a holding of hands,
Would then a hand you hold if t'was mine?

Could you suppose, to sniff of a rose?
Do you have time to do as you suppose?
And should you suppose to sniff of a rose,
Would then a rose you sniff if from me?

Perchance you see yourself drinking tea?
Do you have time to do as you see?
And should you see enjoyment of tea,
Then can your tea get drunk there with me?

Might you entertain a ride on a train?
Do you make time for what entertains?
If you entertain time aboard trains,
Might aboard trains will you go with me?

Can you create a fully cleared plate?
Have you the hunger it takes to create?
And should you create a fully cleared plate,
Would you create that plate-space with me?

Would you dismiss the thought not to kiss?
Have you will not to do what you dismiss?
And should you dismiss the thought not to kiss,
Would you dismiss the thought there with me?

Could you relate, to choosing a mate?
Do you have time to do as you relate?
And should you relate to choosing a mate,
Would then might the mate you then pick be me?

At least - might you pretend a letter to send?
Do you ever act on what you pretend?
And should you pretend to write and then send-
a letter, send it please, to me.
