A Brief Digression

Just a pinpoint of light in the darkness only a gust of wind We pass green meadows and taste the cool waters of the river of life Yet the ground is slipping away beneath our feet a touch of serendipity then the book closes Let's take joy while we can the moon is bright tonight so we can read the faces we see learn that we're not alone we're all riders on a train to nowhere so breathe deeply of the perfumed air and let fear fly out an open window let the sound a heart beating be your guide
