Belgaroth

“When he gets to the other side /
He dances a song of ecstasy and praise with his whole body! /

He can’t believe what he sees- /
The whole universe turned inside out from the heart all around him! /

He flings his arms open wide- /
Releasing the chains from inside each cell of him… /

And do we have to wait till we die? /
Will that be our greatest regret? /
That we never knew life? /

Back here, we grow older in boxes /
Psychologically aware, in our stylish boxes /

While what he says is /
If you haven’t learnt to praise and dance /
The whole of your inner being stays closed like a door- /

And you might as well have learnt nothing at all."
