LIFE!!

TO EXPERIENCE,
ALL THE EYES CAN SEE,
ALL THE HAND CAN TOUCH,
ALL THE HEART CAN DESIRE,
AND ALL THE LOVE, 
THO IT HURTS.

TO ENJOY PLEASURES OF TASTE,
AND THE PLEASURES OF LOVE,
THE SCHOOLING OF KNOWLEDGE,
AND WISDOM FROM ABOVE.

GLIDING ON THE WIND
IN THE TUBE OF A PLANE,
OR SAILING ON THE SEA,
ABOVE THAT WATERY GRAVE.

ENJOYING THE WARMTH OF THE SUN 
OR THE CARESSING OF THE RAIN,
THE WONDERS OF THE STARS,
OR LOOKING INTO THE MOONS FACE.

LIFE!!
THE STRUGGLES OF THE DAY
AND OCCASIONS OF PEACE,
THE BEATING OF THE HEART,
UNTIL ITS RHYTHM CEASES.
