Stream of Life

5/8/09 (written for a really good friend of mine)

Oh stream of life:
With bright eyes and light hearts, we stay afloat.
Gentlemen are treading -- women are bathing.
To infinity, your pool runneth over; the uncountable of youth.
Self-serve, if you please.

Oh stream of life:
After the ultimate lesson, we learn to bask
in the sun-lit reflection of gold.
And with conditioned memories, and pure hearts,
we pass your test, and prove to be forever young.
