we wear down life
so it’s edible
and we can take a bite of light


but one bite of that delicious apple
is never enough you know
so we devour the whole thing
and then digest it as we go


one taste of bliss
can last a lifetime
yet it feels so good
that we want more


we want that brilliant light
to find us
so we go begging God
to open a higher door


til we have to come to terms
with what this life is all about
while the bliss still resides in us
but it is just a wake up call
of what’s behind
the dream that hides it all


so we promise to continue
to do the best we can
and sometimes we see the purpose
and the reason of being
and then we understand


it was once said the first are last
and the dream can't last
though eternity is a long long time
so we return to the beginning
and seek that love
that we so need to find
