The Elixir of Life

From dark walls springs 
Ball of fire,illuminating 
The deeper parts to 
uttermost parts.
Like the rising sun, re-
kindles hope.
  Radiates afar off-from 
the heart's horizon.
A wellspring from a brook-
the soul nourishes.
Sheathing sword of aging
Unravels secrets of 
longetivity.
   The elixir of life,dew 
that quenches thirsty 
souls.
A magnetic and 
contagious force repelling 
sadness from despaired 
minds.
Can't be bought,bribed 
or stolen.
   If you need the elixir of 
life,learn from MONALISA!

Ha!! Thanks for stopping by.Sara
