The Answers Lie Within Us All

THE ANSWERS LIE WITHIN US ALL

Time escapes on fleeting wings and with it, purloined youth,
heeding not the wonderment that children see as truth...

essences and golden threads that hearts and minds can weave,
arias of spirits from whom magic takes no leave,

nourished by the nectar sweet of laughter, joy and love
sustained, alive, soaring free to rainbows and above.

We can turn our backs on angst and chose instead to fly;
every man can loose his bonds and unto light draw nigh...

rise above the quicksand pull of hopelessness and doubt,
seek the miracles within and shun the hate without,

look upon what children view through eyes of innocence;
in life's first blush their purity stands in their defense.

Enchantment need not fade and die as years and youth take wing,
wonderment and joy abide where souls rejoice and sing.

In each heart thrown open wide, life's treasures to receive,
therein are all answers found if only we believe...

hidden there, the secret place where dreams come out to play;
innermost oases where our cares are cast away.

Neverland exists for all who choose to venture there;
unveiled splendor bids that we breathe deep its heady air.

Some will scoff and say of those who march to different drums,
"all of them are out of step - no good from this can come"...

let they who think of 'wonder' as a verb and nothing more
languish there as you march on, all wonders to explore.
