One tree-trunk of a man
Barreling from rocky peak to stone-cut bed,
Expounding all the while one impetuous, permanent thought:

I RELISH life,?As if it were a fabulous gem
Only now unearthed,
Encrusted in
Promethean mud,
And scintillating under
The proudest beam the sun has ever blown!

All rivers run liquid,
All sky is crystal,
Each tree a pulsating tower of verve!

I, too, am destined crepuscular
-To be born in this early dawn of creation-
-To live again as the sun makes its final plunge-

To walk with élan every moment
While I persist in this perpetually unlevel scale
'Tis the only way of treading
Worthy of this odyssey's audacity.

The worries of yesterday have left for vacation
"I will not fear!"  Was todays proclamation
Although I still know that things must be done
Today is the day for adventure and fun!
Drop what you're doing, leave dreary days behind
If we go off together, perhaps we might find
New creatures, new places, new wonders untold
Or ruins, relics, remnants of old!
A good day is one with your face in a book
Yet, you'll miss things, unless of course you look
Upon all of the wonders He has created for you
And the things He has yet to reveal, too.

Open the doors inside your brain
See the possibilities of your mind
There's nothing to lose, only gain
You'll be surprised at what you'll find

Pull the old dusted ****
Let the hinges crack and creak
Feel the pain, your head throb
Wisdom comes to those who seek

Power, knowledge, and mystery
The power and the truth of living
The knowledge only to be free
The spirit of living is giving

Death comes to those who wait
So don't waste a minute
Death is for those who fear their fate
Live life and everything with it!!
