The lifeless corpse of forever
the belief less hole in time
How can thou express the pain
a death tale more heartlessly told than society
What heartless story haunts thy life
of devils or of angels or of both
In the tomb of John F. Kennedy
What life of pain is this? What deathless life?
What horrible ecstasy? What struggle to remain?
What whiteness and blackness? What helpless horror?

Stories told are perfect, but those untold are more perfect
therefore let the mouths tell more
Not to a listening ear, but more so
tell to the soft melodies of no sound
Fair truth, above the clouds, thou cannot leave
Thy life, nor ever can those clouds be gone
Strong heart, never, never can thou find
Though coming near the dream
yet do not wither
You cannot fade, though thou has not my soul
Forever will I yearn, and you be fair

Truthful, truthful valleys
that will not run dry
Your water
nor ever your banks will disappear
And truthful heart weaver untouched
Forever melting songs forever new
More truthful happiness! more truthful, truthful happiness!
forever true and unbroken to be enjoyed
Forever loving and forever unwavering
All needing human hearts far above
That leaves a soul sorrowful and clogged
A lifeless kiss and fading touch

What is this appearing in the fog?
To what white bride, vanished God
Lead thou that raises the oceans
What beautiful flower by tree or house
Or lakeside cottage with peaceful fog
Is emptied of this calm, this truthful sky?
Beautiful flower, thy music for evermore
Will be playing
and not a soul to tell
Why thou are happy, can ever return

Human shape! Lovely soul!
with attitude of soft rocks and trees needed
With gentle melodies and the blowing wind
Thou deaf ears, thou teases us of hearing
As does eternity
Freezing eternity!
You shall remain, in the middle of your self
Than the world, a friend to man, to whom you are
Innocence is truth, truth innocence
that is it
All you need to know on earth and all you need to know
