ah never say the dreams were false
that boy and girl were madly bold
not time but timeless changes all
man and woman we should know
what we dreamed was what we were
and could not timeless be
two strange wild things in universe
too tame for altering
then let them keep without reserve
the wings they had prepared
and while we walk a humbled earth
see them with spirit dare
life I love
life I love who know the heart's unease
the mind's disease, the search unending
to a blind conclusion
I have gone so many ways
towards praise, away from blame
to find seclusion
known coldest doubt and passionate release
the after peace of countless wars grown tired
by their own diffusion
how many changes seen: chance days
nights, the grays of violent and tame
mixed in the time's confusion
dreamed plans, wished hopes without cease
no single piece of life sought
without delusion
