The fountain of youth
In a place unknown
Not marked on maps of old
Only heard of in stories told.
I don't care for the immortality
Or the fame and riches
I just want to feel the success
Of the discovery,
To lay my eyes upon its clear blue waters
If only for a moment,
I want to feast upon its glory
To gaze at its magnificent beauty
If only for a moment,
I want to reach
My own state of immortality
Even if
It's only a state of mind
