You Only Live Once

That I had loved.. Fulfilled the purpose of my birth And that I was beloved Until I took my last breath That I tally up to the stars How they've shined away The darkness walked thus far And hope to become as they And I'll rise and set Through time and space As I expand and contract At light year pace And of all my passions Squeeze out every ounce Set all my talents into motion 'cos you only live once And when you think of me The universe explodes to mind 'cos I'd finally be free As a gust of solar wind Though it seems inevitable I'd die unfulfilled otherwise Actually completely miserable If I didn't know the meaning of the universe Inspired by Silent One's final poem contest
