If time is shorter than we think
And the Nihilists are right
If beauty is without meaning
And life without light
Then silence is golden
To none we are beholden
And 2016 can go down
As the year that great men of art died
Quite so, but
Those once blind may be healed and see
That forests may form under the shelter of a tree
And from tiny drops
A river may flow,
So
Let our words flow like water
After all,
In the words of Guatama Budda
"You only lose what you cling to."
