Laughter led you through its land,
Cast you on its vital sands:
Turned the leaves green from brown,
Made you wonder, left you sound!
Time just seeks a master plan,
By mind no minds can understand,
While fortune sails upon a boat -
Adrift; unmanned; but shall it float?
And death could find one on this sea;
Or jail us in a memory -
Decayin' midst the life we know,
As rain changes into snow. So
Love indeed should speak to all,
Regarding things eventual;
Return life's pleasures, once more home,
Afore the fields our ashes roam?
