if i should live . . .

if i should live . . .



if i should live a thousand lifetimes

a million more may come

for endless seems the journey

where we will know our sum



i’ve journeyed through the meadows

the mountains and the wood

seeking soulful answers

and gathering what i could



and through the paths i’ve traveled

the goodness is abound

discovering life’s fragrance

in the silence within sound



what i’ve come to understand

in life’s indelible sweet embrace

all the things i wish to know

are found in every space



so . . .



if i should live a thousand lifetimes

a million more may come

for endless seems the journey

where we will know our sum



for . . .



the joy is in the journey

and the way we choose to go

the divine is like the river

and to the Ocean we must flow



if i should live . . .
