To walk in the mountains and down in the valleys
Stay up late and sleep in and take time to dally
Beside every flower, and stream, and sunset
And know all the best things have not happened yet!

Of twilight's changing dusks to dawns
Walking on cracks between, hearing, and seeing,
Tasting two worlds which touch only one.
