Where my free spirit onward leads,
well, there shall be my way;
by my own light illumined,
I've journeyed night and day;
a time-worn cloak I wear,
as once I wore my youth;
I celebrate life's mystery;
I celebrate death's truth.
My family is not confined
to mother, mate and child;
but it includes all creatures,
be they tame or be they wild;
my family upon this earth
includes all living things
on land, or in the ocean deep,
or borne aloft on wings.
The ever spinning universe,
well, there shall be my home;
I sing and spin within it
as through this life I roam;
eternity is hard token and harder still is this:
a human life when truly seen,
is briefer than a kiss.
