Happy With The World

Happy man think why I am so proud,
My mind says pathways of light
Between the heavens and the earth,
So we say that the future is succulent.
I walk and talk
In the middle of justice,
Taking hunger and pain as suffering,
For I work.
My living is temporary but strong
After my time of youth.

I celebrate the love of a life
When sheets of silver wrap around
My soul, as if a heavenly
Garment is worn.
Let this make me proud
And pious for the night and day,
Each have revolutions
And each have light,
And this star in front of our imagination
Sends light and heat
To contaminate nothing
On this world.
