A Radiant Moment
Do not look back, time is the wind,
pouring golden grains into your palm.
The laughter of a child within you shimmers,
as day awakens, as night falls calm.
Death is but a shadow’s embrace,
no threat, no pain—just a closing arc.
Like a leaf that drifts from its place,
to weave new life beneath the bark.
And life? Oh, watch—the light is dancing!
A radiant moment in endless night.
So why should worries keep hearts chancing,
when all is but a game of light?
Carry joy, let it remain,
let your childlike soul still dream.
For all that now in you does gleam,
is not an end—but life’s refrain.
