Shining Visions

Let us taste
            the waters 
of the hidden fountain
move in time
           to the year's heartbeat
Only one dance
     only one dancer
Let's not forget
     what we once
knew
      Have you seen the 
lights from our rooftops?
   They are dancing in
      the sky
We are small creatures
moving about on a 
small planet
Before we perish 
Let us drink in
   joy from the fountain 
of life
   Let us learn what 
we must know
     Before we go 
  on that journey
from which there is 
       no return
                Leaving behind 
only small footprints
      in the sand
which are soon washed 
away by the waves
