The Guardian

Taste life...
Flavor of the dawn
On tongues awaiting day.
Nectar on the petals
While the flowers gently sway.
As rain carefully falls to feet,
I must wonder in my time
Could ambrosia taste this sweet?...

Feel life...
Golden field of sand
Under bodies grown so still.
Luscious wind in the air
Bringing beauty at a will.
As I hold the one so frail,
I must wonder in my heart
Could light ever feel so pale?...

Hear life...
A ripple of rapture
On a forgotten azure sea.
Echoes in the dark eclipse
Of those in a world so free.
As I watch the hours spent,
I must wonder in my mind
Could children sound so content?...

See life...
Verdant carpets around
With dancing beings known.
Crystal waters parting to
An endless realm of earth shown.
As I see the hallowed strands of time,
I must wonder in my soul
Could elysian heaven look so divine?...

Walker of the shadowed light,
The bringer of great peace,
Be life and all it has to offer,
A greater want than ease.
And were we all created
So that one day we shall fade?
That is not the reason why
Our souls were truly made.
