Stop throwing coins in your wishing well hoping for wealth,
And dive head first in yourself.

Swim to the depths of your soul,
Watch the water flowing the opposite direction as it consumes you whole.

Dip your cup into the fountain of youth and have your fill,
Only then will you find the treasure of light within.

That's where you learn to overflow your cup unto others,
Who gather at the top with pockets of coins,
Wishing for the strength to begin.
