Our Excursion Is a Pathway

Our excursion is a pathway we must follow 
in the journey of life beyond this universe. 
Love is that eternal emotion we all seek. 

Poetry is the sweet music—light or dark,
that is bound from the union of our hearts. 
Without poetry our minds are a whirlpool. 

Disoriented and lost without song and sense 
there is a unique understanding with delight 
that moves us toward the direction of words. 

Believing in our mortal life existing on Earth: 
A true proclamation of faith holding strong 
with a power and purpose beyond our grasp.

Eternity embraces our eternal existence and 
in every daily aspect of our lives and our souls, 
light holds the final godly power over darkness.
