Cosmic Wisdom Encountered
by the Fireplace on a Saturday Night
By Don Iannone

Be as you are...
for being anything other
brings the death of you.
Be always as you can be...
for being anything other
robs you of joy--
always your best friend.
Be true to your dreams...
for they are your future,
and they set the stage
for your infinite becoming.
Be open to the moment's lingering...
for therein your soul resides.
Breathe in,
and inhale truth's fragrance,
for there...
the sweet smell of life overtakes you.
