Flow

Softer than a baby's breath Lighter still than pale I watch you struggle with the dying of your light against it hear you rale Eternity set solidly into the heart A rare and precious stone We leave as we have entered here In experience all alone So fully are we enraptured by all to know so new leaving like penniless beggars Regardless of what we accrue You cannot take it along in tow for you brought it not to the party So live your life complete my friend While you are hale and hearty And if by chance it shall not be and you are sore afflicted Long for life with its highs and lows As though you were addicted The alternative you may come to find When on deaths threshold arrive Regardless of what your life may entail You'd rather be alive Don't fear the life you were given make of it your very best And when it's duration comes to a close Yield peacefully to the rest I will not go peacefully the poet wrote I rebut Why fight what cannot be won So live life in full I say once again And know when your course is run Should the dawn find you still shining An inexorable reprieve There yet may be a trick that You and God have up your sleeve Be Happy
