COME AND GO

Not theoretically or eternally
I’d rather live my life poetically
Sweetness and light unapologetically
I’d rather be born again aesthetically

I make my home in beauty and light
I make my home in the sheer delight of pleasure
The ever-changing nature of light
The ephemeral, impenetrable mystery of this deathless star
Comes and goes, what I think I know
Comes and goes, no death do I fear
Comes and goes, the ever-changing shadows come and go

No heavy weight of death be upon me
I will not feel ‘cause I will not be
Though my worries and my pains will be lost here
I will not move, I can only be tossed in with what
Comes and goes, it comes and goes

No future death I’ll fear, though my atoms reappear
In another’s early years, it won’t be me

Boy, I hope you enjoy it, all its pleasure and its beauty,
full of sweetness and life
Free of the fear that can take away life

Now I know I don’t know
Now I know, now I don’t

A Song Can Tell A Story

When words leave off, music begins.

COME AND GO
