Within the hours and minutes of time permeates a radiance
An inner knowing of what is and what isn't
We learn the lessons that we must be taught
Life isn't about the roses only, but also the thorns.

To reach understanding of love or of yourself
You must be willing to learn and to take chances
So, it was with me
The moments can be summed up as this
Love does not come to you; love must be earned, and it must be valued
As you must value your life.
All parts are the sum of yourself.

Treasure the moments within the seconds of time
Treasure each smile and each laugh and each word
It's all about the moments within seconds
Every second is a moment to be lifted up and rejoice.

I'm going to tell you something before I walk off toward the Horizon
Life itself is the greatest lesson to be had
Those who don't understand that are doomed
Life is all about the love, the desire, the pains, the tribulations
All about letting yourself learn.

I am going now.
I am going far. Toward the horizon
Every Horizon will be explored and nothing wasted
The essence is this.

Nothing beats the touch of a human.
Nothing beats the company of another human being
Nothing beats the intimacy of a giving soul
You cannot have success without tasting the bitter irony of defeat.

I now say this as I leave to yonder shores
It's been a journey.
Set adrift on a memory of bliss and a history of pain
I loved once, I cared for many, and I hurt too many
I understand, I truly do.

So, treasure these moments within seconds
And remember whether the shape of your body, our hearts are the same
And remember whether the colour of your skin, our bodies are the same
And remember whether you love the same sex, we love the same way
So, treasure the moments
Treasure the seconds.

The sun calls for me now
I set aflame like a phoenix
And move forward, onwards
Moments within seconds
Hours within Days.

Will you remember me?
As I will remember you?
When the Earth sighs
And the sun sets
I will know how you truly love me.

Within the moments.... we radiate!
