Seeking Life
Sydney Molinar 1992 (California)
The unrelenting soul
That bears witness to the lasting fortitude
That lays in us all
What of you
Without the pursuance of life
And the beauty of the earth and the sky
Give yourself to the cosmos
To the unearthly beings
To the soil that lays beneath your feet
A heart that lays sodden with gold
Will never falter
It shall continue forward
So go forth
With a tranquil mind
And an unwavering spirit
