Life and Death?

Show me how to live. A tribute.

There is granite overhead,
There is satin all around,
Fine wood and white marble,
And nary a sound;

Time seems so willing,
To be a partner with dreams,
Building and believing,
The coat with no seams;

A perfect endeavor,
In every shape and form,
With memories collected,
Within matter's great storm;

Where seeing is feeling,
And power is to be,
The grand call of the ages,
Waves forever at sea;

Between floating and sinking,
A destination in mind,
Between drifting and sailing,
There is sight for the blind;

Set out to become one,
Most precious of kind,
Without fear or ambition,
The empowered mind.
