Be content to love, to dazzle in the light,
If only for moments…
And then be gone,
With gladness in your heart,
Before the creeping shadows
Claim too much your sadness at leaving.

On the canvas of life,
Every sweep of the brush matters,
Counts for something.

Sense how
Even the smooth stones ache
With stories of their own
In the shuddering light of day.

Asks unwelcome questions,
Fragile hopes soon blistered by daylight.

Be brave enough to never yearn For that you cannot hold close In your heart forever. Tread lightly, cherish compassion And live in the moment without fear.

Will ever be denied that,
The glimmer of a chance to shine.

And the music of fresh fallen leaves
Caught in a sliding summer breeze.

Can ever evaporate,
Be excised,
Burnt out of your soul.

And ripe,
Like a flower burst,
If the will is there.

A permanent path
That, once illuminated,
Goes ever onward - a way home.

When in love or inspired,
An eternal kiss from the divine
Awaits us all.

Sublime moments refracted,
Even if only for seconds,
Caught forever in your soul.

And so we smile on, Feeding the truths we share With a union of our souls, Cathedral slaves of our passion Which builds beauty amongst chaos.

The light needs only our trust
And, of course, the darkness
To work its eternal alchemy.

Together we all live every moment
On the very brink;
The razor’s edge
Of ecstasy or disaster.
