I sat on a bench in the sun,
a wise wanderer came to me and said:
"I take life as it comes, catch the flow.
Did you notice life’s like being in a big river:
you don't swim upstream or you’ll drown, friend,
take a lesson from a piece of driftwood.
No struggle, just going along for the ride and yet,
an artist on the shore,
paints the scene and there it is:
in a gallery for all to see, yet still floating,
caught in the magic of light and shadow
by the magician in paints.”

“Just by being who I AM in this sunshine
I can heal the world, I can change
the kaleidoscope of life around this town.

Even if I know no one here,
I know all things inside my mind
and this knowing brings me to the edge of time.”

He slowly drank the coffee I bought him
and with a smile, he disappeared.
