the world says hello
and the world says goodbye
in between both
is to crash
and to fly
between a newborn's first breath
aimed towards a gray head's last cry
is a dream of beauty
before settling on high
stay beyond my long horizon
speaks the heart of mankind
from the breaths of their gods
while biding their time
so books continue to be written
to guide and conform
each one enlightening
the dashes of norm
will it be the lust of power and fame
that turns to dirt in the end
or a love
light as a feather
that carries beyond this world's wind
between a parent's first embrace
and their old child's caressing goodbye
an entrance
and exit
both in the arms of each other
is a dream of mankind
oh to live
and to die
