The Ultimate Temptation

The Ultimate Temptation The pit is so dark So deep that it has no bottom Still it has a beauty The glow of volcanic embers Turn the walls into flickering gold Dragons float below Brushing their wings against night blooming flowers Black clouds drift in the heated breezes Lightning flashes and thunder rolls Echoing through the infinite space So hard to stand at the edge The temptation is to leap into the void To see what the world is like at the bottom Yet, it is a question that must not be answered The answer is beyond human understanding Something the gods wish kept secret Still it is there before us The ultimate temptation which will never be sedated All we have to do is float with the dragons Watch the lightning and hear the thunder And listen to our hearts If we do If we can We will know all when the time is right All we have to do is believe
