Pierian Spring, the fountain of youth -could it be just down the bend,or on mythical Mt Olympus?How many souls have long soughtin their lifetime and lost at the end!It could be the Shangri-La, the Atlantis;it could be the biblical Paradise,the heaven of the good in God's promise,in the afterlife that rewards the purein spirit - who shall again rise.Little do we know, nil can we afford,in our searching, for time and spaceare but a tick in the clock of the world;a dot in the infinite universe,a step in its ever increasing race.Pierian Spring is the triumph of goodover evil, the trophy of victory;peace in War and Peace as Tolstoy told,in the finer things of life and living,in a beautiful tapestry.For youth lives forever in the mindand heart that throbs with humanity -seeking, believing, loving and kind,keeping the Pierian Spring flowingto touch every being in a bind.~
