Life goes on

Only the ashes of fire remain

As a poem that I thought to write

Like tears in the rain

The glow of a firefly in the moonlight

It makes no difference now

because it will never happen

I do not want it back anyhow

I scream for myself: "Oh Captain! My Captain!"

There are only the elements before the synthesis

As a poem that I write every day

Like choose a new way

A butterfly emerging from chrysalis

With the blue of the sky life goes on

And in this desert new winds blow on

Bars between love and hate

There is no such thing as fate

(This is the end of this fairy tale.)
