Be content to love, to dazzle in the light,If only for moments…And then be gone,With gladness in your heart,Before the creeping shadowsClaim too much your sadness at leaving.

Together we all live every momentOn the very brink;The razor’s edgeOf ecstasy or disaster.

Be brave enough to never yearnFor that you cannot hold closeIn your heart forever.Tread lightly, cherish compassionAnd live in the moment without fear.

For every moment of suffering,Others will arriveThat will instead pierce you with joy.

Sublime moments refracted,Even if only for seconds,Caught forever in your soul.
