With every footstep we take while we walk in the air,

We breathe in the oxygen from life all around us,

Every breath fills our lungs with the rich

magical gold liquor we call life;

This serves to lift us,

Allowing us to float,

Dainty on our feet,

Dancing around the clouds,

our spiritual liquid uniting to reach unity,

with life;

We intoxicate ourselves with the scents of nature,

Fresh flowers,

Grasses,

Food,

Even water;

Our element for survival,

And,

As we do,

We relight that precious element of gold liquor

inside us,

And it feeds us,

Giving us the electricity we need,

To dance in light.

By night;

We watch the fire burn bright,

Allowing the warmth of glowing amber

flames,

To reach us,

And warm us,

body, soul, and spirit;

Outdoors, the cool chill of the night air,

fills us with the dusky food of night,

We embrace this,

Travelling road-long until we find that

place,

The one surrounded by the velvet blanket of

midnight blue,

With twilight stars being our only light;

As the last of Autumn's gold, red and brown leaves

comfort the trees,

We breathe the mystery of the Tree of Life,

Igniting our souls,

Wrapping our spirit,

In the warmth of the orange flame,

That burns inside us,

As we walk in the night,

Guiding these spirit roads,

So that we can continue this existence called life.
