When we go alone on a one-way journey
Leaving behind family, home, friends
We weep the loss

Loneliness and sadness fill our hearts
With misty eyes we wave goodbye

A struggle begins within
To leave or to stay
Leaving this weariness
Staying with familiar memories

Only comfort we know
A new tomorrow
Only to meet again

Beautiful minds endure erosion of time.
Beautiful faces fade with time.

Beautiful minds come with years of cultivation.
Beautiful faces are shallow promises.

Beautiful faces are lucky inheritance.
A beautiful mind, your soul truly reveals.

When Sun and Moon have found their place,
Angels gather as witnesses of first birth.

"Let there be life," Theos proclaims.
Incipient buds appear. Promise of Beauty forever.

Life bursts forth.
Flowers and weeds grow together.

Weary gardeners tend the soil.
Angels in silence weep when flowers fall.
