Going out dancing
Used to be my meditation
A welcome adjunct 
To my education
Now I stare at times gone by
And wonder how I 
Could entertain 
A world I have lost in vain 
And I look upwards into the rain
Has the love been replaced by pain
Or is the pain just a symbol of
A holy white, a dove
Coming to rest on my shoulder
Making it impossible to carry the boulder 
Up another hill
We do not need skill 
To roll the dice
Life doesn’t happen twice 
It happens Now 
And even reincarnation somehow
Is only a reiteration of the fact
The past is gone and you can’t get it back 
The future has not and will never come 
And the heart of life is just One
