Is this the only life I’ll live
To expand my view
I sense a wry immortal soul
That brings a world anew
Or will I live beyond this world
Extend to sight unseen
And only then will I be blind
To places I have been
Or will I touch a trembled soul
That shudders in the morn’
And know more than I could ever know
For truth will keep me warm
If the chill outside will shiver so
And make me feel aghast
Angst and suffering may knock
Yet my door will stay well cast
So who’s at hand to whisper loud
And shout silences I lost
A companion – one’s reality
So to conserve the cost
And as the shutters gleam again
And shine beneath the sky
It’s wondrous that one’s soul forgives
And banishes one’s cry
