Artifacts of artistry Approach a blurred mind trembling And we will go remembering When youth meets with despair. On steeds of deeds a galloping, Surrendering our luck; We pluck from life a pear or two With lips pressed dripping; Owning only Time. We make it rhyme, by God, We make life fine. While on the sands of Israel Beneath the twilight sky We find our Babylon within A newborn baby's cry. All of us, each one, is not alone. The Light that is the soul of us Still burns where Love is shone.
