I remember what she said, before she left Take with you only what you can carry The road ahead is narrow, its ways are unforgiving This path may lead to an endless life But our timing will always have been so curious It is unclear if we will survive to see the new world Or if we shall meet our demise before the event How ironic: those who hold everything Can take nothing with them in the end And those yet-to-be, often with so very little Inherit the world for all time to come So I go along my own way Few possessions on my back Her moonlight, my only guide Walking out, she did not turn to say goodbye I caught the golden sun upon her hair And for a moment wondered If anything could have been different But I knew that her time had come I upheld a facade of strength and wished her well Cold air rushed inside, with a frenzy Standing there, all alone I thought back to how it all began A rendezvous of happenstance Our fates, so intertwined Drifting by the days Closer to each other Two leaves of the same tree Grown together, fallen separately And laying side by side How long could we sustain this position? Twelve years only, before the wind tore us apart But that time, so short and blessed Was the best I'd ever known Life has its own trajectory And there are some things That cannot be overcome We parted ways But our mission stayed the same We fought for the future, together and alone And forward we shall go Onward to the great revelation Listening to the ocean's rhythmic tide Within an hourglass all things wither and decay But don't let this stop you from remarking on subtle beauties The transient nature of everything that blooms sustains appreciation For when you know that it's not going to last You are free to immerse yourself, whole-heartedly Within the boundless majesty of mysteries and wonder That we are here at all, to take in what we can Is the most glorious thing And those who live in Versailles Despite their claims to every endless treasure Cannot establish their reference point To base satisfaction on Long live the stasis-revolution Victory to those who are emblazoned May their banners be evermore vibrant With threads of hope spun from innocent dreams I will take her with me, as I come to join the march You cannot see her, but she is there Standing tall with wings of light Steadfast resolve, and powers of discernment To judge the winds of change and face the ever-shifting duty On our road so dark and narrow Carrying only what she can upon her back I endorse the noble quest among the stars And give back everything that I am given Until at last my bones come clean beneath the grave oak Or support my flesh inside wildest horizon For in the end, it's all the same Cycles of becoming, without conclusion Cycles of rain and moon and birth and sleep Passive soils underneath Cradling the expectations of a sudden wanderer Sailing across the years Come inside and gather memories Share the virtues of experience, and drink with your guild The hardships we've all known are coming due With everlasting sustenance Place your care in the ways that you know And cherish everything
