Zest for life
Zest for life
Zest of living one discovers
Inspired by life’s demonstrations
Beyond the desolated wastelands
within wintered caverns frozen
oppressed body of its mind
outside visions
where gleams of hope are found
thresholds on new foundations
spark of life’s creations
sunshine in the distance appearing
peace and understanding bestowed
comes from knowing we belong
to life and its living
Hearts at rest deep in healing
within the time of now extending
un ended ever ending moments
you are given within its coming goings
On all our travels that we travel
the sky sublime as it is great
wide earth beneath its treaded feet
which mark the paths we tread
