The edge of aliveness
To know the melody that aliveness hums
To bring up a soul
as green as the meadows,
Why carve a form with substance profound?
Why infuse it with abstract sounds and shadows?
Why guard a being with the weight of one's own?
– For a being as light as the breeze, beneath self-forged gates and grounds.
