Not Lost

It was
And now is not.
And we are torn
though all's not lost -
Everything's not lost.¹

And we live in a beautiful world.²
Melodies come - they always return,
for Nature is in rhythm,
and will never go unlearned.

And now I see, as I forlorn
Misplaced, my flowers grown back as thorns.³
Driven to destruction -
(It's all part of the plan).⁴

And throughout all my studies
And all that is fragment
I know now what truly does in fact
make a man,
a man.
