Saving Coins

 There are those who Save Coins for a better tomorrow
 yet, to live for tomorrow is to live in Sorrow
 for today truly is all we ever have
 when one wields the Sword and Staff,
 Just Let It Shine, it's truly as simple as that
 and this is the Great Celestial Epitaph,
 hoarding in goods that inevitably turn to dust
 but a token in the spirit, In This I Trust
 what we do and don't do is all that counts
 Right Here, Right Now is Paramount
 Ashes to Ashes, Illusions to Night
 Fire to Fire unto Wisdoms of Light,
 Be Forever in this moment, heed to these Innards of Life
 for Yesterday is Gone, Tomorrow a Farce, by Wisdom we Rule the Nights
 some never see, some know this road
 some find Treasures, some Reap Thorns
 All Is Wise, externally nothing ever lasts
 Investments in Knowledge Conquers the Hour Glass
 Be Present, what you seek lies within
 some chase and some claim these riches,
 so never wait for the proper time
 See It, Believe It, and Live To Shine
