As the sun lights the day

So the moon lights the night

In resolute union, we climb to the heights

We plan for tomorrow

And live for today

Like a flower we bloom, and then fade away

Or we watch as the sun

Beams soft through the peaks

And moves on the slopes

Down a fresh woven sheet

A blanket so soft

And so cold

And so neat

Covers the mountain and the tracks left by feet

It fills us with pride

And is the joy of so many

To carve into this canvas

A harvest of plenty

A sublime interaction

With the processes of nature

These things happened, and happen, and will happen later

We trade not time for money

Rather money for time

Our days are bookended 

with laughter and wine

We give our whole heart

To a cyclical passion

So suffer our pockets, empty and ashen

So we dive in the forest

And we swim through the trees

Float on the branches

And sink in the  leaves

You’ll hear a song in the story we tell

To play so near the sky

And love each day so well

It is easily guessed by our occupation

That Art through experience is the sole motivation

And if a lifetime of work is all that we leave

Measure not what we earn, but what we achieve

Don't miss out!
