when we shall know for certain that
our journey here has reached its final end
and in some way reel in the flow of life
and from that soaring pinnacle
look back upon this state
when we can live and love
and walk and breathe and
sing and talk and eat and act
and then come back
remembering what we'd seen
no longer lost inside the crashing now
and now of world wave history
smashed in a broken compound eye
a shattered image of a breaking time
then with that timeless vision
we'd live each golden heartbeat
with such a fierce intensity
to drink the music of the sky
study the winding ivy on the branch
feel the excitement of the water in the stream
dance to the rhythms of the wave
and learn to live in such a way
that joy is everywhere.
