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
