~ Symphony ~

Come dance with me
in the playgrounds
of my heart
Come love with me
in the playgrounds
of my passion
Come join with me
in the playgrounds
of my soul
I hear and feel the music
Intoxicating all that is me
to dream and believe
In transforming the reality
of today into tomorrow's promise
while drinking deeply of eternity
The ancient river flows through me
and within all that ever was
or ever will be
Are those fireflies or stars
and to those who really know
It matters not at all
For the difference between them
is not a fundamental issue
any more than "is it water or ice"
All that our limited senses comprehend
is but an illusion to help us learn
to focus on what is not there
And the great truth and mystery is
that which is not there
is the only reality there really is
And one day when you learn to dance
in harmony with the other side
you will leave behind all yur illusions
As you join the grand symphony
beyond the veil of time
and walk along the shores of forever.
