Life

through the majestic purple mountains
through the expanse of valleys they surround
through the running  crystal clear streams
in the green meadows that turn gold
in the setting sun
is an atonement of love
that some perceive.                                                         

But is actually the passing of every
cherished second
never to be felt again

Is called search of a
perfect trail
of an age that passes
with each unique treasure
of the mortal discovery we know as life.
