No one need abandon childhood dreams
that outlive dry illusions:
Born of fear and other’s hoarded expectations.
There is but one lesson to learn,
as easy as squirrels
And sunshine,
A lesson echoed endlessly
in whispers in the sanctuary of your heart,
No matter how long or far you have strayed.
To ignore it is the only sin, a tragic guarantee
that sadness and emptiness
will haunt the final days of your life.
Though the mountains fall on you
and the sky denies her light,
Though the moon disappear:
and clouds are troubled,
and angry.
All of this will pass away,
no matter what the time or season.
Then the dreams you refused to abandon
will explode with new life!
Taller than the mountains:
Brighter than the Sun!
And the joyful song that was yours from the beginning
will resound across the silver edges of your days and nights,
And lead you lovingly and fearlessly
into the light.
