Beyond this art, the depths of heart
will yearn for deep and sense complete
the answers to questions from ages asked,
for why or reason the mouth does breath.
A life to live 
from morn to night
to seek to find the source of light, as
swords confer on bended knees
the valiant courage to cross the seas...
To find, to find, with stars a'watch
angelic tears from clouds a'drop,
as visions clear, horizons queue
blue heavens greet, 
Eternal beau...

And while moons reflect the truths of suns
and waves complete their yearly runs,
new babies awake in late July
to grow and laugh as reindeers fly...
Grow old, they may, 
and whisper ask
remove, corroded, those withered masks,
what's left are songs so vivid strong
of love that longs forgiven wrongs.
In turn, all men all stop to pause
creating moments to engage a thought,
but despite it all, the soul is lost
as answers reveal, return all nought.

Just pray and learn, yes live and laugh
And know that God forgives the past, and
Ask, believe,
by grace receive, 
Of life, of life, of life at last.
